What is Procmail?
Procmail can be used to create mail-servers, mailing lists, sort your incoming mail into separate folders/files (real convenient when subscribing to one or more mailing lists or for prioritising your mail), preprocess your mail, start any programs upon mail arrival (e.g. to generate different chimes on your workstation for different types of mail) or selectively forward certain incoming mail automatically to someone.
Comments and Reviews
The "MailDrop" listed here is not the correct "MailDrop". The software named "maildrop" can be found here. It is part of the Courier IMAP server suite. There's a Wikipedia page as well.
