DEFAULT sets where the mail will be delivered. MAILDIR is the current
working directory and only affects explicit delivery rules that use
relative pathnames for maiboxes. The use of "MAILDIR" in procmail predates
DJB's choice of "maildir" as the name of a mailbox format and is not
related. This has caused a lot of confusion over the years ...
You probably want:
ORGMAIL=/var/spool/mail
MAILDIR=/home/tim/Maildir
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/
