I've setup Postfix with maildrop support in the main.cf file with the following settings:

mailbox_command = /usr/local/bin/maildrop local_destination_concurrency_limit = 1

The filter is working fine for $HOME/.mailfilter (I tested it with the command /logfile ".mailfilter.log"/). However, when I setup /etc/maildroprc with the command /logfile "/var/log/maildrop"/ nothing gets logged.

Is the logfile specified in $HOME/.mailfilter still logging messages?

When I tried a similar setup, with a logfile specified in both /etc/maildroprc and $HOME/.mailfilter, Maildrop returned a temporary failure error until the log specified in /etc/maildroprc was writable. When I made this the temp directory, Maildrop created the file as empty, then presumably loaded the $HOME/.mailfilter file and logged to the location specified in that file instead.

So it looks to me like the issue is that Maildrop only logs to one file at a time...
