By default, one message with 10 recipients (RTFM max_rcpt option of

10. How would domain B know anything about recipients at other
domains?

$recipients_count is a count of the number of RCPT TO: commands your
server received for this message. Unless the spammer is trying to
relay off you, this will only be the addresses in your domain.
