Conditions can be and'ed and or'ed, as in any programming language. Am
I not getting what you want to do?

Stuff something in $data, and extract it later?

Not sure what you mean here.

Use driver=redirect and do something with data, again.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do here. Why are you munging
headers before you want to examine the unmunged message?

This sounds like a job for an external program to me.

You can already specify different routers for delivery and smtp-time
handling with the no_verify and verify_only directives, as well as jumps
between routers using pass_router and redirect_router - you could
conceivably have a no_verify router that jumps over all the verification
routers to the real set of routers below a no_more staement, allowing
completely different routing at delivery time than at smtp (although why
you would want the duplication of effrot I can't imagine).
Is Perkel rubbing off?
