What are the permissions on the .mailfilter file, they must be 0600. I had
problems like this and this caused problems similar

Here's how i have things:  I'm using postfix as a local MTA, and it's
calling maildrop with 
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/maildrop

I have only one user that receives mail on my system, and that user account
has/d a ~/.mailfilter file.  The problem is, whenever that file exists, no
mail whatsoever makes it into my Maildir.  I've tested this - i send a
message to myself, and i receive nothing as long as there's a mailfilter
file existing.  As soon as i rename it, i'm fine.

Here's the contents of the file: (DELTAG is an environment variable used by
a custom mod to maildrop that i haven't yet implemented)
===============================
logfile "maildrop-filter.log"

log "== message =="

DEFAULT="Maildir"

	# Check headers for winamp
if ( 	(/^Reply-To: Winamp/ ) \
	|| (/^Reply-To: winamp-plugin-dev/)
)
{
	log "winamp message"
	cc "Maildir/.Development.Winamp"
	DELTAG=1
	to "Maildir"
}

if (/^List-Id: <linux-sony.returntonature.com>/
)
{
	log "Sony Linux message"
	cc "Maildir/.Linux.Sony"
	DELTAG=1
	to "Maildir"
}

if (/^X-Mailing-List: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org/
)
{
	log "Linux Newbie"
	cc "Maildir/.Linux.Newbie"
	DELTAG=1
	to "Maildir"
}
=====end .mailfilter====

I can't find the logfile, either.  It doesn't seem to log anything at all.

Can someone suggest a direction to look in on this one?

Thanks,

Chris R.
