I want to use the /etc/maildroprc file for global filtering (for example subjects tagged with [SPAM]) and then apply user's custom rules with .mailfilter. I am running qmail-1.03, vpopmail-5.4.5 and mail is delivered to /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/... In the user's directory I have the .qmail (|/usr/local/bin/maildrop) and .mailfilter. The problem is that maildrop runs the /etc/maildroprc and if the messages doesn't match any rules doesn't move to .mailfilter in the user's home dir to apply the custom set of rules.

maildrop knows nothing about vpopmail.

Maildrop man page explains how it reads first the /etc/maildroprc and then it moves to $HOME/.mailfilter. But in my configuration it doesn't...

Yes, it does. $HOME, in this case, being the home directory specified in the passwd file for the userid that invokes maildrop.
