Correct. maildrop will need to be changed, so that it can search inside the  
message/delivery-status MIME content.

As a workaround in the meantime, you can have maildrop use fgrep:

FOUND=`fgrep -q 999.999.999.999; echo \$?`

Something like that. Might need experimenting, to get the syntax right.
