The mail/maildrop port
maildrop-3.1.5p0 – mail delivery agent with filtering abilities (cvsweb github mirror)
Description
maildrop is a replacement for your local mail delivery agent. It 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. maildrop will optionally read instructions from a file, which describes how to filter incoming mail. Instructions can be provided having mail delivered to alternate mailboxes, or forwarded somewhere else. Unlike procmail, maildrop uses a structured filtering language. maildrop is written in C++, and is significantly larger than procmail in compiled form. However, it uses resources much more efficiently. Unlike procmail, maildrop will not read a 10 megabyte mail message into memory. Large messages are saved in a temporary file, and are filtered from the temporary file.WWW: http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/
Readme
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maildrop must be run as the uid/gid of the user whose mailbox it is
delivering to.
Therefore, if the MTA does not spawn it with the correct uid/gid, it
needs to be suid root to perform the operation itself.
The port is installed with the suid bit stripped by default. This works
out-of-the-box with MTAs like qmail, which spawn maildrop with the
correct uid/gid it needs to perform the delivery.
For more information, please read the documentation in
${PREFIX}/share/doc/maildrop/INSTALL.
It should be safe to enable the suid bits, but scan over the code first
and satisfy yourself that there are no security holes.
If you perform a full audit, please inform and the
suid bit may then be enabled by default.
The following files will need suid re-enabled if you so choose:
${PREFIX}/bin/maildrop
${PREFIX}/bin/lockmail
