# The mail/maildrop,-main port

## maildrop-2.5.4p0 – mail delivery agent with filtering abilities

## Description

    maildrop is a replacement for your local mail delivery agent. It
    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 will optionally read instructions from a file, which
    describes how to filter incoming mail. Instructions can be provided
    having mail delivered to alternate mailboxes, or forwarded somewhere
    else. Unlike procmail, maildrop uses a structured filtering language.

    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 the temporary file.
