According to the muttrc man page, the pattern ~C matches To: or Cc:,
and have you tried quotation marks around the command part of the
send-hook?

send-hook '~C recipient@xxxxxxxxxxx' 'filter-entry /u/fool/filter.pl'

I do not use this filter.pl you talk of, but I have send-hooks of
similar format and this works for me.
