*Some* number of \ should work! Did you specifically try
if $h_to: begins \$user@
or
if $h_to: begins "\\$user@"
? Either of these I would expect to work. (Are you sure you want to be
testing $h_to: and not $local_part?) Are you testing with -bf or -bF?
You can set -d10 to get debugging info out of the filtering code when
doing this.
