Inconsistent behaviour

I want Maildrop to create a folder named Spam if no such
folder exists (upon receiving a mail that is tagged as
Spam). So I created a maildroprc file like the following:

-- start of my maildroprc script --
import HOME
import MAILDIRQUOTA

XBOUNCE="| bouncesaying 'Sorry, no mailbox here by that
name.'"

if (/^X-Spam-Flag: Yes/)
{
        `test -d $HOME/Maildir/.Spam`
        if( $RETURNCODE != 0 )
        {
          `/usr/local/bin/maildirmake -f Spam $HOME/Maildir`
          `echo INBOX.Spam >>
$DEFAULT/courierimapsubscribed`
        }

        to "$HOME/Maildir/.Spam"
}
if ( $HOME eq "" )
{
        to "$XBOUNCE"
}
else
{
        exception {
                include "$HOME/.mailfilter"
        }
        exception {
                to "$HOME/Maildir"
        }
}
to "$HOME/Maildir"
-- end of maildroprc --


Problem is, upon receiving a spam mail, maildrop created a
file, NOT A FOLDER.

[rootmaildevel root]# ls -al
/home/example.com/roger/Maildir/
total 48
drwx------    9 vmail    vmail        4096 Jan  6 10:22 .

drwx------    6 vmail    vmail        4096 Jan  6 10:21
.Trash

I am using Courier-imap.  But if I were to run that command
from shell:

# /usr/local/bin/maildirmake -f Spam
/home/example.com/roger/Maildir

that would CORRECTLY created Spam as a folder. Wonder why
Maildrop does not do that thru maildroprc ? Any idea?

Try something like (works for us):

`test -d $HOME/Maildir/.Spam/`
    if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
    {
       `/usr/bin/maildirmake $HOME/Maildir/.Spam/`
       #"whatever else"
    }

You don't have to import HOME, it's default.

Best,

I use mbox, but shouldn't Maildir use a tailing slash?

I have tried:
          `/usr/local/bin/maildirmake $HOME/Maildir/.Spam/`
and
          `/usr/local/bin/maildirmake -f Spam $HOME/Maildir`

with both creating Spam as a file :(

If I do not import HOME, my emails will be lost in space. I
do not know why. I am running qmail-ldap with courier-imap
3.0.8.

Any idea?
