I have now investigated this situation. I have concluded that this is a
documentation bug rather than a code bug. The reason is that when you
specify

sender_domains = .....

in a RCPT ACL, you may want the list to be dependent on the *recipient*
domain. For that reason, it is the recipient domain that is in $domain
for the entire time a RCPT ACL is being processed.

The domain of the sender address is, after all, available in
$sende_address_domain if you want to use it.

I will fix the manual at the next edition, and I'll put something in
doc/NewStuff in the meantime.
