I've used maildrop versions .54, .54b, and .55 on two 2.2.7-STABLE machines, one stable as of August 16 and the other as of September 4. I've never had any problems with it at all. For the most part I accepted the default configuration, except for the location of the mailboxes (mine are in the home directories). Have you tried downloading the most recent version (released yesterday) and compiling it? If you do, note that there are a couple of extra steps required (make autoconf.h and make config.h after ./configure). Also, it appears that recent versions may require gmake instead of make. .55 seems to work with make, but .54x nneded gmake.
