Make sure maildroprc is owned by the MTA user:group, maybe
chmod 600 it too.

Put something like this in maildroprc...

 logfile "/var/log/maildrop.log"

and this to see all the variables available, I use log $HOME...

 log `env` 

and put something like this in .mailfilters...

 log "start of joe's mailfilter"

and a...

 alias mdlog='tail -f /var/log/maildrop.log'

to make life easier (don't forget to chown that logfile).
