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. (naddy@ and avsm@ discussed this) -- 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.

==============================================================
|
|
The documentation for maildrop has been installed in
|
|
${PREFIX}/share/doc/maildrop.
|
|
|
|
You should also read the pkg/SECURITY file now, as it has
|
|
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.
