Interesting. I suggest you to enable logging in both getmail and
maildrop, tail -f both logfiles, and get some mail.
Also, it'd be nice if you provided version numbers. I'm no maildrop
hacker, but Charles wrote getmail, and a version number could
probably help.
> 3. getmail doesn't have enough documentation at this moment:
I dare to disagree:
share/doc/getmail/CHANGELOG
share/doc/getmail/docs.txt
share/doc/getmail/faq.txt
share/doc/getmail/getmail.txt
share/examples/getmail/getmailrc-example
> a. no man page
While man page would be really nice IMO, Charles
expressed he was not interested in maintaining it. That said, the
tarball *does* have enough docs IMO.

You should bug the package's maintainer. The FreeBSD port I
installed Getmail from didn't give me any trouble. And again, not
enough info: *what* Python module?
