I screwed up.  Should have been:
if you want to change the default delivery, reset DEFAULT to point to 
a mailbox file like this:
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox

If you set a recipe to dump mail to box 'blah' then MAILDIR tells the 
directory where 'blah' resides, it doesn't alter where emails that don't 
match a recipe go. Use DEFAULT for that.
