Description:   Opened: 2003-03-18 20:48 0000
The maildrop 1.5.2 ebuild puts maildroprc in /etc/maildrop/, but maildrop looks
for maildroprc in /etc/, which is the correct location for maildroprc according
to maildrop's manual.

I had discovered this when trying to use spamassassin 2.44 with maildrop.  I
added the line

xfilter "/usr/bin/spamassassin -x"

to /etc/maildrop/maildroprc, and it was not working.  So eventually I tried
copying maildroprc to /etc/, and it worked.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Ensure there is not file /etc/maildroprc
2.  Add some filter rules or anything else to /etc/maildrop/maildroprc
3.  Send yourself an email (or wait for one to arrive) and watch your rules not
work.

Actual Results:  
The file /etc/maildrop/maildroprc was not read by maildrop.

Expected Results:  
Maildrop should either have looked in /etc/maildrop/ for maildroprc, or the
ebuild should be putting the default files in /etc/maildrop/ in /etc instead.

I synced my portage tree just before submitting this bug.  The versions of
spamassassin and maildrop are the most recent stable ebuilds available as of
this submission.
