After handing the mail to maildrop, getmail returned the error message:

   Delivery error (command maildrop 18470 error (75, .mailfilter(164):
   Syntax error after ))) msg 4/1300 (24935 bytes) from
   <[email protected]>, delivery error
   (command maildrop 18470 error (75, .mailfilter(164): Syntax error
   after )))

I merely was showing fragments of the error message, in an attempt to make
it easy to count the instances of "(* and the instances of ")".  I assume
that there should be one ")" for each "(".

But there are only three instances of "(":  one before the word "command",
one before the number "75", and one before the number "164*.  So there
appears to be an un-matched instance of ")".
