The WishList contains this item:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(346) 20-Oct-05 S Set $domain and $local_part in retry matching

Currently, these variables are unset. Make it like rewrite matching.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has not been implemented; I seem to recall taking a quick look and
finding it to be less trivial than it appears, but I cannot remember
why. Ah, now that I think for a bit, it might be because there's a
double lookup for certain kinds of error. It tries with the host name,
and then it tries with the email address domain name (this is documented
somewhere).

*Rewrite* rules (as opposed to retry rules) also match address list
items, and they set $1 and $2 to wild parts. This doesn't happen for
retry rules. I don't know why. It might be an accident; it might be
deliberate.

I am afraid that the 4.61 release is already in "release candidate"
testing state, so it's too late to look at this again just at the
moment.
