Correct. It is like the acl_smtp_data in that it is run when the whole

No. Delivery is not based on headers. It is based on addresses in the
envelope. But that is not the reason.

Yes.

They are not set.
You do have access to $recipients, which is a comma-separated list of
all the recipient addresses.
