I've compiled this 3 times on different systems, and used the default, procmail, and maildrop.

You've compiled what? What are you trying to do? What are you using?

What I get is mail delivered to a file in the user directory called "Maildir"

If a Maildir does not exist for a specified folder, maildrop will assume you were referring to a mbox folder and will create it for you if it doesn't exist. You can get around this by specifying a closing / on the folder name so that maildrop is forced to assume it is a Maildir.

If I use the maildirmake utility, the mails will sit in the queue forever (or until they expire.)

Are there delivery attempts? What does /var/log/maillog say? Are the permissions on the Maildir correct?

I've read in the courier documentation about using the mailfiles or maildirs, and I know that this is not what is intended.

Not sure what your even referring to here...

Systems are CentOS, RHEL3AS, RHEL4AS

Have a RHEL4 box myself and RHEL3 before that. Works great, more details of what you're trying to do and what your config files look like are needed to give you any real help here...
