That doesn't seem to be the case. I tested this, and my mail ended up
in /var/mail/USERNAME, in mbox format. I have existing Maildir folders
already in /usr/home/*/Maildir/

I did not install maildrop manually, and such I did not read the
INSTALL file. I used my operating system's package manager, which
consisted of me doing:
cd /usr/ports/mail/maildrop && make install
I now went through the install file, and it says I need to edit/verify
the DEFAULT_DEF option in config.h. Unfortunately, that is not an
option in the method I used to install maildrop. Is it not possible to
override this seemingly compile-time default in a maildroprc file?

So is it correct that I would need to script this in my maildroprc file?
Eg, if dir does not exist, run makemaildir to create it, then deliver the mail?
