Hi,

I'm using a postfix for local e-mail with Unix user(s) only and 
'mailbox_command = maildrop'. As of 2.7 maildrop is not stripping the 
'From ' line as it used to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737383 and other mail 
tools are complaining about it.

Of course, I could plug in 'reformail -f0' as suggested by maildrop 
upstream, but local(8) is able to also deliver without adding the 
additional 'From ' line (external file delivery).

For the moment I chose to use 'home_mailbox = Maildir/', but I'm 
planning to use postfix for all my e-mail and I need the sorting 
capabilities of maildrop.

I could also create a 'maildrop' destination and use pipe(8), but this 
requires maildrop to be suid root, which I'd rather avoid (besides 
complicating the setup somewhat).

Would it make sense to introduce an option to prevent local(8) from 
adding the additional 'From ' line?

Kind regards,
Andrei
