Now THIS is an intriguing thought. But isn't that what your current
settings in the top of the configuration are doing anyway?

An addition to the whole ACL bit... being able to define different sets of
ACLs like below:

acl local_route_acl begin

accept_recipient ...
accept_recipient ...
accept_recipient ...

acl end

acl trusted_net_acl begin

accept_recipient ...
accept_recipient ...

acl end

Or am I complicating things?

That's what my feeling was at the ACL spec that John had suggested. If the
first condition doesn't fail AND the second doesn't fail AND the third
doesn't fail, accept the message.

You opened yourself up to that :)
