As MBM says, that's exactly as per spec. A quoted string cannot expand
into more than one argument.

No, I'm afraid not.

One reason that you couldn't do this is that a message may have more
than one recipient. If several of them fail, only ONE bounce message is
sent. So a single $return_value isn't good enough. If you want to send
text back in a bounce message, you can try using return_fail_output.

A message isn't bounced. An *address* is bounced.

Because I never thought anybody would want anything other than a hard
cutoff, since it's supposed just to be a safety catch. Note that that
option is documented as "integer", and it is not flagged as expanded.

Same problem as above. More than one address may be bounced.

WHICH local part? A message may have many recipients. If you use foolist
in the acl_smtp_rcpt ACL with a local_parts statement, then $local_part
should be set to the local part of the incoming RCPT address. But
otherwise it won't be set.

Which ACL was this? If it was acl_smtp_rcpt, then $domain should be set.
My test suite includes examples of this. So if you are referring to
acl_smtp_rcpt, there is some problem that is caused by your precise
usage, and we need to investigate this further.
If you are talking about any other ACL, $domain won't be set. Let me
know which it is.
