| Summary : The mail filter/mail delivery agent from the Courier Mail suite
|
Description :
maildrop is a replacement for a local mail delivery agent. maildrop reads a
mail message from standard input, then delivers the message to an mailbox.
maildrop knows how to deliver mail to mbox-style mailboxes and maildirs.
\"maildir\" is a mailbox format used by Courier, Qmail and Postfix.
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,
much more efficiently. Unlike procmail, it uses resources better and will not
read a 10 megabyte mail message into memory, but save large messages in a
temporary file, and then get filtered. 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.
