Huh? Why not just have maildrop send the message? You can use

to "address@otherserver.com"

I use something more complex like this:

import SENDMAIL
import SENDER
import LOCAL
to '|$SENDMAIL -f "$SENDER" -i "$LOCAL@otherserver.com"'

so that the secondary server can also see the original sender. I have
this in my /etc/courier/maildroprc file and it saves me the trouble of
creating a forwarding rule per user.
