People,
I have had qmail happily operating for many years and in more recent
years I have started using maildrop as the MDA:
maildrop-2.8.3.20151220-1.fc24.x86_64
It just worked and I never really worried about it. Now I am actually
trying to understand how the two programs interact - maildrop doesn't
run as a daemon and everything I have found just says that it takes its
input from StdIn which doesn't help me understand the mechanism - does
qmail attempt to deliver to the user's Maildir and somehow something
alerts maildrop to take delivery of the mail? I've grepped through all
the /etc dir and the qmail files and there is no mention of maildrop
anywhere . .
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated . .
Thanks,
Phil.
