Maildrop is a replacement for your local mail delivery agent. maildrop reads a mail message from standard input, then delivers the message to your mailbox. Maildrop knows how to deliver mail to mbox-style mailboxes, and maildirs. "Maildir" is a mailbox format used by the Qmail MTA. Maildrop will optionally read instructions from a file, which describes how to filter incoming mail. Instructions can be provided having mail delivered to alternate mailboxes, or forwarded somewhere else. Unlike procmail, maildrop uses a structured filtering language. This package differs from a vanilla Maildrop installation in that the files are installed at locations that more closely correspond to a Courier installation.
