It's a Message Delivery Agent (MDA) that takes a message from the
Message Transfer Agent (MTA), qmail in our case, and delivers it
according to the user's instructions. Maildrop, like procmail,
has powerful tools for looking for certain patterns in various
parts of the message and delivering the message to various mailboxes
or programs depending on the existence or absence of those
patterns. This is known as "filtering".

You don't. You might *want* it, but you can get by without it.
>Can I run my qmail without Maildrop ??
Yes. qmail contains its own MDA: qmail-local.
