Looks like I'll be migrating across to maildrop in the next week or so :-) Something you may want to add is that if you use Maildir format and have this in ~/.procmailrc: DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ You need the equivalent for maildrop's ~/.mailfilter: DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir/" Without this, messages that were not filtered (ie. fell through) will be appended to the mbox file, /var/mail/$USER.
