Thanks for the reply. I just seem to have solved the problem. I had no maildroprc in /etc/, so by studying the howto at http://gentoo-wiki.com/Maildrop_configuration I put together a maildroprc which contains:

SHELL="/bin/bash" DEFAULT = "$HOME"

xfilter "reformail -I 'X-Panix-Recipient: $1'"

logfile "/var/mail/maildrop.log"

(Frankly, I just copied the line with xfilter, I still have to find out what it means. :)

It means run the mail through the command reformail to insert (-I) a header line "X-Panix blah blah" (if already present, it will be replaced). $1 is of course the first arg passed to maildrop by postfix, so should be $recipient in your example. if you change maildrop args in master.cf, do not forget to change this line. as for the goal of adding this header, I guess the howto author wants to check for its presence somewhere (in postfix for instance) and thus detect that the message was already processed by maildrop.

The only weird thing so far is a double slash in the logs:

this is because you have something like "TO $DEFAULT/$folder" and DEFAULT already contains a slash. not an issue. so keep it.

so I tried to change the filter file and it WORKS!! The file is at /var/mail/intu.cz/lists/.mailfilter, I hope it's the right place.

As long as $HOME = /var/mail/intu/cz/lists for "this" recipient, it's ok.

Happily maildropping
