Yes, but if you have the *same* conditions on the other routers (which I
thought you did) then the fact it is unset (i.e. empty) means you can
skip them. In other words:
$address_data is intially empty (the default value).
. First router tests preconditions, skipped if they fail. Otherwise
address_data = any old string
gets obeyed.
. Second router uses
condition = ${if eq{$address_data}{}{no}{yes}}
Or have I missed something?
