There's absolutely no code in maildrop that would begin to drop messages a couple of months after a new user account was created.

In fact, maildrop has absolutely no bloody idea when a particular account was created. That information is simply not available to maildrop.

[root@cent ~]# rpm -q maildrop

maildrop-1.7.0-1.3

That version of maildrop is over a year old. Even if -- highly unlikely -- there turns up a problem in that version of maildrop, after all these years, nobody would really care about this code, any mode.

So you have some kind of a spam filter, that you've somehow glued together with maildrop.

This is the most likely source of your dropped and truncated mail.

There are no known issues in maildrop that would cause lost or truncated mail. If you use the xfilter command (or an equivalent) to send mail through an external mail filter, and it loses or corrupts the mail, there's absolutely nothing that maildrop can do about it.
