Maildrop is a powerful email filter/delivery agent. It supports mbox-style mailboxes and maildirs (a mail storage format used by Qmail). Its mail filtering language supports RFC822 parsing and GDBM/Berkeley DB database files. The maildrop package also includes a command-line tool to perform various operations on MIME messages.

Recent releases


Changes: This release adds minor performance improvements to the reformail tool. An external program invoked to filter a message that terminated before consuming its standard input is no longer considered an error. Maildrop's license was changed to the GPLv3.


Changes: Messages delivered by maildrop will use the process's inherited umask. The -f option now allows an empty return address to be specified. The lockmail utility now drops any group-id privileges if the setgid bit was added to lockmail's permissions.


Changes: The agent now uses the PCRE library for regular expression pattern matching, with optional reversion to the old built-in legacy pattern matching engine.


Changes: This release adds support for setting IMAP keywords with Courier-IMAP 2.1 and higher.


Changes: This release adds updated maildir delivery code that uses a revised mechanism for creating message filenames that is less likely to produce duplicate filenames.
