+maildrop (mail delivery agent with filtering abilities)
+

+Courier Mail Server. This is a standalone build of the maildrop mail
+filter that can be used with other mail servers.
+

+reads a mail message from standard input, then delivers the message to
+your mailbox. maildrop knows how to deliver mail to mbox-style
+mailboxes and maildirs. "maildir" is a mailbox format used by the
+Courier mail server and Qmail.
