A couple of months ago, I posted same problem. And I got following
answer which fixed my symptom from

Eric W. Ziegast, University of Merryland, Engineering Computing Services
ziegast@eng.umd.edu - Eric@(301.405.3689)

After latest patch (6.7.1) was applied, the problem has gone.

The original answer follows:

The problem is not with you .maildelivery, but with MH.  MH on default
uses the file ">" action to store unfiltered messages into your standard
BSD/UUCP mail drop.

The problem is that slocal is improperly seperating the messages.  They
are seperated with a "\nFrom " instead of the required "\n\nFrom " re-
quired by inc, /usr/ucb/mail, etc.

I've made a small patch to fix it in MH 6.7.0.  But I recommend that you
get the latest patch (6.7.1) from UCI and try it first.  If it still
doesn't work, mail me and I'll send you the patch that sticks in the
extra "\n".
