maildrop

I'm setting up qmail as MTA on my Redhat 7.2 Intel box.  From what I have read, maildrop has some advantages over procmail as MDA with qmail.  One advantage is maildrop's native support for the maildir mailbox format.  I'd appreciate opinions on this.

I can't get maildrop from it's home page because of a redirect to spambag.org, which correctly identifies pacbell as a network that refuses to deal with email abuses.  Is everyone in northern CA with a DSL connection just out of luck?

I found maildrop rpms on speakeasy, but ran up against a failed dependency on libstdc++.so.2.10.  This is not to be found for i386 anywhere via google.  It seems that this version of the gnu compiler is only generic to sun systems.  Also, I encountered notes saying that maildrop can't be compiled on more recent gnu compilers.

So how does one get maildrop, if it is indeed preferable to run with qmail.

Thanks,
