-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 can optionally read instructions from a file on how to filter
-incoming mail, and, based upon the instructions, deliver mail to
-alternate mailboxes, or forward it to somewhere else, like procmail.
-Unlike procmail, maildrop uses a structured filtering language that's a
-bit easier on the eyes.
-
-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 that file. Files are saved in the user's home directory. If the
-standard input to maildrop is a file, not a pipe, no temporary file will
-be necessary.
