I use the following to match a literal dot in the To field, the dot (period)
has to occur prior to the @ character.  The recipe is:

"^To:.*\..*@.*"
Could you post the entire actual recipe, please?  And the relevant
fragment of log file, since you have it.

Thanks Bart.  The recipe is:
:0w
* ^To:.*\..*@.*
| $DELIVERTO -a $CYUSER -m "jdotrejects" $CYUSER

The log snippet is:
procmail: Match on "^To:.*\..*@.*"

Here are header snippets from the particular email:

From: "GameStop PowerUp Rewards" <GameStop(_at_)e(_dot_)gamestop(_dot_)com>
To: "gamestop(_at_)abc-def(_dot_)com" <gamestop(_at_)abc-def(_dot_)com>

(abc-def.com is made up)




I see that as

^To: matches To:
.* matches "gamestop@abc-def
\. matches .
.* matches com" <gamestop
@ matches @
