As I understand it, if the "drop" files are simply a flat text file,
then plonking them in /var/spool/mail should work. These files are
simply appended to by sendmail. The thing that seperates them is the
word "From:" on a new line. Thats why if I was to write From on a new
line in this message, eg

From

you will see that it is commented out with a ">".
