It is still problematic with 4.50 - it seems that it is not set in all
cases. With the following acl:

  warn condition   = ${if !def:acl_m1 {true}{false}}
       !dnslists   = dsn.rfc-ignorant.org/$sender_address_domain
       !acl        = acl_whitelist_local_deny
       !verify     = sender/callout=30s,defer_ok
       log_message = $acl_verify_message
       set acl_m1  = Sender verify failed: $acl_verify_message


  deny condition    = ${if def:acl_m1 {true}{false}}
       !acl         = acl_whitelist_local_deny
       !local_parts = postmaster
       log_message  = $acl_m1
       message      = $acl_m1


(This actually is usually split over two acl's when in use, hence the
setting of $acl_m1 instead of just a deny. For the purposes of testing
4.50, I left them both in the rcpt acl, as you see them.)

This gives the following debug output here:

>>> processing "warn"
>>> check condition = ${if !def:acl_m1 {true}{false}}
>>>                 = true
>>> check !dnslists = dsn.rfc-ignorant.org/$sender_address_domain

Here it is blank, but


>>> warn: condition test succeeded

LOG: H=mail.lobefin.net (mail) [216.158.52.98] Warning: Sender verify failed

Here it is not.

Is it a misinterpretation on my part? Can I not set a variable to
another variable? Or is it the bug it appears to be?
