Currently, I'm running qmail with maildrop which uses a simple
.mailfilter. maildrop is more complex than procmail, but I could not get
procmail to function properly. Today a problem occurred when I removed
procmail and fetchmail stopped working, so Instead of backtracking I
installed getmail and pipe to maildrop.  Another problem, maildrop would
not accept a pipe from root for users mail so I had to run cronron job
as user to get mail so .mailfilter would work too.

I probably would have avoided all this if I had known redhat installed
postfix as default mta if I had not installed sendmail in the first
place. Oh well, qmail was already on this box when I upgraded, and I did
not have to screw with those aliasdb for mailman. Getting mailman to
work with qmail was another story;)

Now to figure how to get maildrop to source a file with a list of spam
addresses to send to deliver to /dev/null
