|
|

Maildrop will optionally read instructions from a file, which describes
|
2000-10-23 15:34:58 +02:00
|
|
|
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.

This package differs from a vanilla Maildrop installation in that the
|
|
|
|
|
files are installed at locations that more closely correspond to a
|
|
|
|
|
Courier installation.
