- maildrop is a replacement for your local mail delivery agent. It
- 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.
- 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.
- maildrop is written in C++, and is significantly larger than procmail
- in compiled form. However, it uses resources much more efficiently.
- Unlike procmail, maildrop will not read a 10 megabyte mail message
- into memory. Large messages are saved in a temporary file, and are
- filtered from the temporary file.
