I've tried using "exit" by itself, but it doesn't work. At least it doesn't work all the time.

Maybe it's my configuration:

Redhat Linux 7.3 qmail maildrop spamassassin vpopmail courier-imap

Here's the filter code. All I'm trying to do is dump all e-mail messages addressed to dar@usabusiness.net

The maildrop filter test is like this, which seems to work because when I change exit to something else I get different results.

if ( /darenz/ ) { exit }

After a series of tests like that, maildrop sends all messages to spamassassin (via spamd).

With that filter in place here's a bit of the /var/log/qmail/current file as a message came in. The message was also processed by spamd - and the only way that can happen is if maildrop sends it there.

2002-12-22 12:49:01.790121500 starting delivery 1760: msg 16231 to local usabusi ness@usabusiness.net 2002-12-22 12:49:01.790136500 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 2002-12-22 12:49:03.041713500 delivery 1760: deferral: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by _that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/maildrop:_error_writing_to_mailbox./ 2002-12-22 12:49:03.041752500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20

I'm not sure what mailbox it's looking for at that point, but it shouldn't be getting there if exit really drops the message.
