Quick question: Does ~/.mailfilter override maildroprc? Or is the latter executed first, the individual .mailfilter's later?

$ man maildrop [SNIP] If the file /etc/mail/maildroprc exists, mail delivery or mail filtering instructions are read from that file. maildrop's delivery/filtering instructions may direct mail- drop to save the message in specific mailbox, discard it, return it to sender, or forward it to a different E-mail address.

If /etc/mail/maildroprc does not exist, or its mail delivery instructions do not completely dispose of this message, maildrop then reads the mail delivery instructions from $HOME/.mailfilter. If it doesn't exist, or its mail delivery instructions do not completely dispose of the mes- sage, maildrop then saves the E-mail message in the default mailbox. [SNIP]
