Just throwing this suggestion in since you mentioned variables. It'd be nice
(and shoot me if it's already possible) to be able to set acl-style
variables on a per-recipient basis, as opposed to per-connection or
per-message only. I run into situations where I'm doing some processing in
the rcpt acl (think db lookups) that I'd like to be able to reference in a
router when routing that same address. The lookup cache might help out in
some situations but with more than 1-2 recipients, I'd assume that that
lookup would get flushed out of the lookup cache.. Presumably with 100+
recipients in a single email, that might introduce some memory bloat. But
unless you're storing a ton of stuff in theoretical $acl_r# vars, even that
should be fairly modest, byte-wise.
