--- Begin Message ---Hi upstream people, There is a bug report on Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/741158 This is true for 2.9.3. Let me rephrase it here a bit. maildrop(1) states in the section DESCRIPTION: Manual mode A file containing filtering instructions - filename is specified as an argument to the maildrop command. maildrop reads this filename (after /etc/maildroprc) and follows the instructions in ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ it. Unless the message is explicitly forwarded, bounced, deleted, or delivered to a specific mailbox, it will be delivered to the user's system mailbox. Delivery mode maildrop is the mail server's mail delivery agent. maildrop runs in delivery mode when no filename is specified on the command line. maildrop changes the current directory to the user's home directory, then reads /etc/maildroprc, then $HOME/.mailfilter. But later in the section DELIVERY MODE Note /etc/maildroprc is read only in delivery mode. The "(after /etc/maildroprc)" in "Manual mode" is inconsistent with this "Note" statement. We should either drop "(after /etc/maildroprc)" or update "Note" statement. Regards, Osamu
