See the documentation for the ${lookup expansion item in the string
expansions chapter of the specification. ${lookup can work like a
conditional test, so if $address_data is found in the file, the result of
the expansion is no, otherwise it is yes. This then determines whether the
condition fails or succeeds.

is ignored.
