Avoid it. You don't need a macro, I think.

No problem, on it's own.

Yes. That isn't exim syntax. I'm guessing it's preprocessor syntax,
in which case it get evaluated at preprocessing time, i.e. when you
install the exim setup. At such a time, $address_data is meaningless -
so the preprocessor cannot make use of it.

You don't need to set a macro. Just condition the running of a router
using the result of that extract. Use and/or to combine conditions
as needed (details in the exim docs).
