Oooo!
Sounds like we might be on the verge of a flame war!

As you can guess, procmail and maildrop occupy much of the same space in 
the mail environment.  To just pick one and get on with your life is 
probably more productive than trying to decide which is ultimately the best.

For me, procmail is very easy and simple to set up for what I do with 
it.  There are some other options that procmail can do, with stored 
values and variables, has never been something I've never been 
confortable with.

Maildrop, it's never been available w/o courier on Debian until 
recently, so maybe someday I'll play with it.
