Probably.

Of course, you could also look into your procmail log file.

If you want to use maildir boxes, you'll have to put a trailing slash on
the name, or procmail will create mbox files.

Personally I find it more convenient to dump a copy of all incoming into an
mbox file with the year and month in the filename (you could also try the
week number), that way it rotates itself.

You might also want to be a little careful with subdirectories and mdir
folders, those can be a little dodgy (i.e. not be supported by this that and
the other).
