May I ask which MTA are you using? Personally, I have found the 
following works ok and doesn't require parsing the (arguably) more 
complex From: header.

  import RECIPIENT
  import SENDER
  logfile "/home/username/maildrop.log"
  log "$SENDER $RECIPIENT storing in inbox"

The benefit here is that the MTA should set SENDER and RECIPIENT 
environments which maildrop can then read and use in the log statement.

Been using this for many years without problem.
