My ~/.mailfilters/default looks like this:

if ( /^From: *!.*/ && lookup ($MATCH2, "drop.list")) { exit }

Where ~/.mailfilters/drop.list is a list of email addresses I want to block.. This doesn't work.. Is this a failure in understanding how maildrop works, or my maildrop is screwed up?

Q2, I tried doing this to my /usr/local/courier/etc/maildroprc and it wasn't too happy.. :-(

$ man maildropfilter [SNIP] filename is a name of a file con- taining a list of patterns. Note that filename is relative to the current directory, which is the home directory of the user when maildrop runs in delivery mode, or embedded mode. [SNIP]

So try putting ".mailfilters/drop.list" in your lookup command. You could also use "$HOME/.mailfilters/drop.list" if you want to make doubly certain.
