I've had weird troubles, but not investigated, with maildrop liking
different syntax in different places.

I'm not sure if this will help -

Here's an abbreviated version of my /etc/maildroprc. I use the "exception"
clauses so maildrop will continue if the xfilter or deliver commands fail.

# REFORMAIL is a utility that comes with Maildrop.
REFORMAIL="/usr/local/bin/reformail"

# Only scan stuff under 256KB
# If the spamd daemon dies, just deliver it ... (that's what 'exception' does)
# I figure that spamc has 256K limiting too ... but maildrop already knows the message
# size, and this way we can sometimes avoid a fork ...

if ( $SIZE < 262144 )
{
        # Stick the final recipient into the headers

        # Strange maildrop syntax: Sometimes it wants the braces like this,
        # sometimes on the next line.

        exception {
                xfilter "$REFORMAIL -i'Delivered-To: $LOGNAME'"
        }

        exception {
                xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc -f -d backup.frontier.net"
        }

        if ( /^X-Spam-Flag: YES$/ )
        {
                # If the "Spam" folder exists, save tagged mail there. Otherwise bail.
                exception {
                        to "./.Spam/."
                }
        }
}
