I've set it at system level.

$ grep DEFAULT /etc/maildroprc
DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir"

But if a rule fails maildrop will return an error to the caller program.  
A well written caller program will just try later which is exactly what 
getmail has done. I noticed the errors from cron and corrected the 
mistake ASAP.
