I'm using maildrop 1.37, from Debian unstable

turgon@mail:~/Maildir$ maildrop -v maildrop 1.3.7 Copyright 1998-2002 Double Precision, Inc. GDBM extensions enabled. Maildir quota extension enabled. Virtual user database extension enabled. This program is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. See COPYING for additional information.

I'm having problems sometimes with maildrop not delivering to the proper maildirs, and instead ending up appended to a whole different file.

I call maildrop from postfix, as MDA. Reading mail via Courier IMAP, it if matters.

Here's .mailfilter: turgon@mail:~$ more .mailfilter DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir" logfile "maildrop-filtering-log"

if ( /X-Spam-Status: Yes/ ) to "Maildir/.Spam"

if ( /SM-USERS/ ) to "Maildir/.SquirrelMail-Users"

(NOTE: The above does not get delivered to it's correct maildir)

if ( /SAtalk/ ) to "Maildir/.SpamAssassin"

(NOTE: the above *does* get delivered to it's correct maildir)

(and so on)

Here's my maildirs:

Now, why would the above email (which matches no rule), get appended to a *file* called INBOX.Trash, instead of being put into my maildir inbox?

Any ideas? What other info can I show?
