import maildrop-1.2
This one has been pending for around two months because
it installs root suid files. The port strips these out
by default, and pkg/SECURITY has details on if they need
to be reenabled. qmail at least doesnt need it, others can
probably be configured to not.

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.

some important information regarding the setuid/setgid
|
|
|
|
|
bits that some of the binaries that have been installed
|
|
|
|
|
may need for correct operation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are currently NO setuid/gid bits enabled, but if you
|
|
|
|
|
use maildrop in certain capacities, these will need to be
|
|
|
|
|
set to allow maildrop to function correctly.
