Please don't do it this way.  Instead, do the rejection in filter_recipient.
That way, you fail with a 5xx code instead of generating another mail
messages.

I suggest you revisit the policy.  What you are trying to do sounds
unreasonable.  But if you insist on doing it, you need to call
action_change_header to change the To: header (which you can read
by opening ./HEADERS)
