Take a look at the sources sometimes when you're in the mood for
a good laugh. :-) I'm actually surprised that so many people
have been using Procmail for so long, and nobody bothered to
start a project for a mail filter on sane basis yet. By that I
mean a "real" replacement for procmail, not a toy like Maildrop.
Okay, I'll bite: what makes you characterize maildrop as a "toy"?
I only played with Maildrop for a short while, but IIRC it
didn't have header rewriting. I might remember wrong, of course.
You remember wrong. It has a formail-like program called reformail,
the man page for which is at
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/5799/maildrop.reformail.html.

Anyway, I'm not trying to start a mail-filter religious war. I just
think that you ought to have done more than "play with Maildrop for
a short while" before reporting to everyone on the list that it's a
"toy."
You are right of course. After writing that, I checked Maildrop
again, and I posted a message acknowledging my error. If that was
not enough for you, I'll say it again: I apologize for any emotional
discomfort that I caused you (or anybody else) by calling Maildrop a
toy; next time I feel like publicly expressing an opinion about Maildrop
I'll check my sources more carefully. Mea maxima culpa!

Liviu
