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.  Specific
implementations are catalogued here:  http://sieve.info/
