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.
|
|
|
|
maildrop can be used with sendmail, Qmail, and other MTAs.
