No, that's just a variable called MAILDIR. You're actually telling procmail
to deliver to mboxes, and by default to an mbox called /var/spool/mail/adam.
To tell procmail to deliver to Maildir, you must add a trailing slash. Like
this:
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
^ use "Maildir" because it's the standard name for Maildir storage in a
user's home directory
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
^ because there's no point delivering mail to an mbox in /var/spool if
you want your mail in Maildir format

Makes sense, considering the above. Here's what I do (and yeah, I really
should update my perkypants dotfiles):
Selected settings from ~/.procmailrc:
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
Selected settings from ~/.muttrc:
set mbox_type=Maildir
set mbox=~/Maildir/
set folder=~/Maildir/
set record="~/Maildir/.Sent/"
set spoolfile=~/Maildir/
