I am trying to configure maildrop on my mailserver but whenever I send a message to my email, I get this error message in the maillog and I don't get the email.

Aug 4 22:14:19 titus maildrop[29991]: Cannot have world/group permissions on the filter file - for your own good. Aug 4 22:14:19 titus qmail: 1028513659.686783 delivery 221: deferral: /usr/local/bin/maildrop:_Cannot_have_world/group_permissions_on_the_filter_file_-_for_your_own_good./

What does it mean, and how do I fix it?

It means what it says - your .mailfilter has the wrong permissions; it has world/group permissions, and that is not allowed.

Do a "chmod 600 .mailfilter" to remove the world/group permissions, while keeping user (i.e., you) permissions.
