What I'm basically doing here is attempting to implement filter rules for my
users. So here's my plan...

The mail stores all reside behind a mail filter so I control what is sent to
the mail stores. I was going to get the email sent to the mail store from
the filter as something like:

michaeln+archive@twentyten.org

An outside user wouldn't be able to email michaeln+archive@twentyten.org and
have it get through in the same manner. Anyway, I can get Postfix to parse
that and send whatever I want to maildrop. Postfix knows the user's
maildir, but how can I get this sent in the correct manner to maildrop?

I guess what I'm saying is, what do I send to maildrop parameter wise? I'm
reading the man page and I don't quite understand how I'd call it. For
example:

Email Address: michaeln@twentyten.org
Maildir for user: /var/mail/102309.macnt/

How do I get this all passed? I don't see the switches that I'd use. For
example:

maildrop -D vmail/vmail -d michaeln -M /var/mail/102309.macnt/archive/

Any hints? ;-)
