Hmm, in that case, "to" should not work as you _are_ in embedded mode.

EMBEDDED MODE
     The embedded mode is used when maildrop's  filtering  abili-
     ties  are desired, but no actual mail delivery is needed. In
     embedded mode maildrop is executed by  another  application,
     and  is  passed  the -m or the -M option. maildrop reads the
     message,  then  runs  the  filtering  rules   specified   in
     filename.

     filename may contain any filtering instructions  EXCEPT  the
     following:
[SNIP]
     to   The to command is not allowed in embedded mode.

Wierd.  The only way "to" should be able to work in that case is with a
file included from the maildroprcs directory as suggested by Sam.
