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.
(notable changes: better locking, improved RC scripts, THREAD semantics
updated to latest IETF draft, unicode support, bug fixes)
- bump NEED_VERSION, MAINTAINER real name added
- regenerate RC patch
- PLIST tweaked to not delete libexec/authlib, which is being
used by other applications now (e.g. vmailmgr)

Postfix 19991231 patch 09 fixes a memory corruption problem, and
includes a long list of minor bugfixes and robustness improvements
that already featured in snapshot releases (or that will feature
in the next one).
- When propagating an address extension to the right-hand side
of a virtual or canonical mapping, the cleanup server could
access memory that was no longer allocated and die with signal
11. This would happen when the result address length was more
than about 100 characters. Credit to Adi Prasaja @ satunet.com
for coming up with a small reproducible demo.
