whoops.. I forgot to mention that I have everything in mysql. I'm using
Gentoo on this machine, and it created a /etc/maildropmysql.cf file
already.

If I'm understanding this right, postfix will use the mailbox_command =
/usr/bin/maildrop command to take email, pass it to maildrop. Maildrop
will then check mysql for whatever information it needs to gather and will
then look for a $HOME/.mailfilter file and will process everything
accordingly.
Sound about right?
