I've just installed maildrop to use its filtering
abilities, and to use Maildirs instead of mbox.
My setup is two basic PCs and a separate firewall
box networked together accessing an ISP by dialup
using a 56K external modem. I run Debian Woody on
both boxes and to get used to Maildrop and Maildirs
have installed Knoppix on a separate partition
so leaving my existing mail and surfing setup
untouched.
Getmail pulls my email from a pop3 account - the
config works if I send the email to an mbox account.
If I configure getmail to pipe to maildrop it does so
when I have no .mailfilter file ( it puts all into a
file it creates itself named 'maildir').
When I create Maildirs using 'maildirmake -S xxxx'
and create the following /home/user/.mailfiter:-
-------------
SHELL"/usr/bin/bash"
DEFAULT="/home/john/Maildir"
if(/^To:.*debian-user@lists\.debian\.org$/)
to Maildir/debian
if(/^To:.*gllug@linux\.co\.uk$/)
to Maildir/gllug
if(/^To:.*getmail@discworld\.dnsalias\.org$/)
to Maildir/getmail

There doesn't seem to be any Maildrop Config Manual - at least
I've been unable to find one.
I wonder if someone would be kind enough to point me in the
right direction.
I'll answer your second question first. There is a manpage for maildrop
filters - maildropfilter.
