The program optionally reads filtering instructions from a file; this lets you deliver mail to alternate mailboxes or have it forwarded. Large messages are saved in a temporary file, and are filtered from the temporary file. Temporary files are saved in the user's home directory. If standard input is a file (not a pipe) a temporary file is not necessary.
Maildrop also checks the syntax of the mail delivery instructions
the filter file, before attempting to deliver a message. If the filter
file contains syntax errors, maildrop terminates without delivering
the message. Users can fix typos without losing mail.
