Maildrop is a replacement local mail delivery agent that includes
integrated mail filtering abilities. The system administrator can either
replace the existing mail delivery agent with maildrop, or a user may run
maildrop through the 'forward to program' mechanism of the existing mail
delivery agent. Complete documentation is included in both HTML and man
page format.
Maildrop provides a sophisticated E-mail filtering language with powerful
features such as RFC822 parsing and pattern matching.
New in version 0.62 is support for GDBM database files. For more
information, see http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/.

Description: Maildrop is a powerful mail filter/mail delivery agent.
Maildrop works with your mail server to deliver incoming
E-mail. Maildrop reads the message to be delivered, then
optionally reads instructions from a file, specifying how to
filter mail. Based on these instructions, maildrop may deliver
the message to an, or forward it, instead of saving the
message in your usual mailbox.
Maildrop uses a sophisticated filtering language which allows
very complex mail filtering rules to be defined and used.
Maildrop provides advanced filtering tools such as RFC821
parsing, and GDBM database file support.
Maildrop uses a structured, real, meta-programming language in
order to define filtering instructions. Its basic features are
fast and efficient. At sites which carry a light load, the
more advanced, CPU-demanding, features can be used to build
very sophisticated mail filters. Maildrop deployments have
been reported at sites that support as many as 30,000
mailboxes.
Sample mail filtering recipes as well as complete documentation
is provided in both HTML and man page format.
