Most-often mentioned alternative LDAs (local delivery agents) are Maildrop, sieve[1], sortmail, and Dovecot LDA. (Me, I just persist in using Procmail.) The LWN.net article and comment thread (https://lwn.net/Articles/416901/) covers some of this. Note: If you look on Wikipedia, there's some confusion between LDAs and MDAs (mail delivery agents), things that do mail transport like IMAP and POP3 to -fetch- the mail. And, actually, LWN's Jon Corbet makes the same regrettable category error. (Damned kids. Get off my lawn, and don't kick my SMTP mail spool. ;-> ) [1] A filtering language rather than a utility as such.
