/etc/courier/maildroprc is the global maildroprc file. This gets processed  
for any mail handed over to maildrop, for any recipient.

If this is the only account on your machine that gets mail, and that  
maildrop always gets invoked under the userid and the groupid that owns  
/home/brian, then this is probably ok.

However, that's not the right way to do things. The only thing that should  
be in the global maildroprc file is stuff that needs to be done for all mail  
handled by maildrop, for any recipient. There shouldn't be anything  
recipient-specific, that belongs to $HOME/.mailfilter

Also, maildrop is very picky on the permissions and the ownership of your  
mail filter. It must be chmoded 0600.
