Good point.  I use maildrop, which also makes use of a ~/.mailfilter
configuration file.  All I had to do was to tell postfix to use
"mailbox_command = /usr/bin/maildrop" in main.cf.  Thanks for saving me
hours of coding a solution which certainly would have suffered from poor
performance at any meaningful volume of messages :-)
