Doh!  I just realized what was causing the log to be overwritten.

When I was first setting up and testing my .mailfilter file, I put the
following in my .forward file:

"|exec /usr/local/bin/maildrop 2>Mail/maildrop.log || exit 75"

Changing the redirection operator to ">>", of course, solved the
problem.

Sheesh, I feel almost as dumb as the author(s) of "Bumblebee".  :-)
