Take a look at the following examples at
<http://www.dotfiles.com/index.php?app_id=18>:

1. maildrop .mailfilter supporting user+extension@xxxxxxxxxxx
2. My ~/.mailfilterrc !, October 23rd 2003, 09:10:31 PM
3. Basic .mailfilter file for maildrop (incl. PGP stuff)
4. Maildrop .mailfilter file


Here's an example from my stuff:

DEFAULT="/var/spool/mail/p"
SHELL="/bin/bash"
logfile $HOME/maildrop.log


    if (/^(From|Cc):.*mutt-users@mutt\.org/)
    {
      to "$DEFAULT/.ml.mutt/"
    }

HTH,
