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 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.
