maildrop-2.5.4-1ark.i586.rpm

Description:

maildrop is the mail filter/mail delivery agent that's used by the
Courier Mail Server.

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.

maildrop optionally reads instructions from a file, which describe how to
filter incoming mail. These instructions can direct maildrop to deliver
the message to an alternate mailbox, or forward it somewhere else.
Unlike procmail, maildrop uses a structured filtering language.

maildrop is written in C++, and is significantly larger than procmail.
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. If the standard
input to maildrop is a file, and not a pipe, a temporary file will not be
necessary.

maildrop checks the mail delivery instruction syntax from the filter file,
before attempting to deliver a message.
Unlike procmail, if the filter file contains syntax errors, maildrop
terminates without delivering the message. The user can fix the typo
without causing any mail to be lost.
