Jeremy Harris suggested $acl_r* variables (r for recipient) on February 28, in
the thread entitled "acl variables per recipient rather than per message".
They would still be set in ACLs, not in routers, and so are out of scope of
the original question. The difference between address_data and ACL variables
is that ACL variables are stored on the spool, whereas address_data is set on
each routing occasion.
