Few users bother to report paper-cut bugs like this one, not least because they often get no response (not the fault of the overworked package maintainers of course!), and especially not when there is a workaround (in this case, to use procmail instead of maildrop). Nevertheless, it is likely that other users have faced the same problem, and will again. -- https://rrt.sc3d.org
