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.
