Correct.

Well, I'm going to check through them for possible expansion.
However, in this case, even if it were expanded, it wouldn't do what I
suspect the poster wants. What value of local_part does he mean? The
value is likely to be tested at the start of a message, so perhaps the
local part of the sender address is meant, in which case I guess
$sender_address_local_part is what is really meant. However, there
should also be a check on the local part's domain; it doesn't make much
sense without it.
