Summary : Mail delivery agent with filtering abilities

Description : maildrop is the mail filter/mail delivery agent that's used by the
: Courier Mail Server. This is a standalone build of the maildrop mail
: filter that can be used with other mail servers.
:
: 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.
