1. Files in /etc/default use KEY=VALUE format, so keep it that way

2. "defaultdelivery" is to generic. Delivery of what?

How about /etc/default/mailbox

   # Format (Maildir, MH, mbox, mbx)
   INBOX_FORMAT=Maildir

   # Where to deliver
   INBOX_PATH=~/Maildir

.. and perhaps also:

   # Folders in which format?
   FOLDER_FORMAT=Maildir

   # Folders where ?
   FOLDER_PATH=~/Mail

.. if you don't want to mess around with the FOLDER stuff (which
is not just a MUA thing, but which some imapds can probably use
as well) you might want to call the file /etc/default/inbox

This way you can set things up so that for example Maildir delivery
is done in /var/mail/username, like I have it running here.
