When called as verification from a RCPT ACL this is correct, yes.

Yes you can. When they're called appropriately, at the right time -
which in order to check stuff sent as part of DATA is, self-evidently,
either in the DATA ACL or any time after that.

[looks back at thread]
That's because you didn't mention where the router was being run (ie. at
which point in the transaction). Now we know, and you know that you
can't do this in the RCPT ACL.

Put your conditions into the DATA ACL instead, perhaps? We haven't seen
all of your config (ACLs and routers together) so it's a little tricky
to clutch at what your system will do.
