No, the maildroprc is processed first. If it specifies a delivery,
it will override anything in the $HOME/.mailfilter files.
Here's the relevant part of the man page:
If the file /etc/courier/maildroprc exists, mail delivery or mail
filtering instructions are read from that file. maildrop's
delivery/filtering instructions may direct maildrop to save the
message in specific mailbox, discard it, return it to sender, or
forward it to a different E-mail address.
If /etc/courier/maildroprc does not exist, or its mail delivery
instructions do not completely dispose of this message,
maildrop then reads the mail delivery instructions from
$HOME/.mailfilter. If it doesn't exist, or its mail delivery
instructions do not completely dispose of the message, maildrop
then saves the E-mail message in the default mailbox.
