- Description:
- maildrop is a replacement for your local mail delivery agent,
similar to mail/procmail.
- maildrop reads a mail message from standard input,
then delivers the message to your mailbox.
- maildrop will optionally read instructions from a file,
which describes how to filter incoming mail.
Instructions can be provided having mail delivered to
alternate mailboxes, or forwarded somewhere else.
Unlike procmail, maildrop uses a structured filtering language.
- maildrop knows how to deliver mail to mbox-style mailboxes and maildirs.
- maildrop is written in C++, and handles resources more efficiently.
maildrop can be used with sendmail, qmail, and other MTAs.

mail/maildrop: Fix INOTIFY option
- FreeBSD 14.5 and up include inotify implementation in libc, so update checks
to not depend on the ports implementation ion this case
- When using the ports provided libinotify link using the dynamic library
- Also add one file that needs patching for a successful build
While here, pet portclippy/portfmt.
