We have one of the early versions of the Maytag front loader - later versions apparently added a drainage tube to allow the water in the seal area to drain away, but no such luck for us.
What we wind up doing is unplugging the washer after we're done and leaving the door open a bit. This allows the water to evaporate and has eliminated the standing water/mildew problem. It's a workaround no doubt, but not too big a pain.
