At my earlier employer's, we were running sendmail/procmail for about
70 domains with traffic in excess of 10000 emails a day. We never
experienced any issues.

OTOH, maildrop is part of the courier suite; so the rock solid stability
and blazing speed that is the hallmark of the suite makes its presence
felt in maildrop as well.

A plus point is that maildrop's filtering language is much simpler to
master than that of procmail's. Thus one can write more optimised and
faster to execute scripts with maildrop than procmail. My opinion,
of course.

PS: I am a very satisfied convert from procmail to maildrop; sendmail
to courier. Opinions might be biased.
