I don't think I'm having a maildrop problem per se, but I think
maildrop's behavior may help me sort it out.
I run a qmail-dovecot-squirrelmail server on a debian stable machine.
From time to time I POP (using pop3d) the mail from it using fetchmail
plus maildrop as the MDA, all running on another debian host.
Some messages seem to hang the fetchmail run; some don't. Here's a
typical example in which one message fails retrieval, and two
succeeding do not.

$ fetchmail -f .fetchmailrc-alison

It looks as though the problem is really with your .mailfilter
file, so you might want to show that as well, probably improper variable
quoting or something like that.
