How did you make up this syntax? As far as Exim is concerned, this is just a
long string. I'm not sure whether one or more macros become defined, but in
any case you can't conditionally define macros based on string expansion
results. Macros are defined when the config file is read. They are not
general-purpose variables.

Have you read the specification, in particular chapters 11 and 40?

This could work, but not the way you want.

The above log lines have no connection with the ACL at hand, but it seems that
you're trying to match an address against a local part list. You need
postmaster@* there.

You need something like this:

   warn set acl_m_PROTECTION = ${lookup mysql{SELECT setting FROM settings \
                                              WHERE domain_name='$domain'}}


   accept condition = ${if eq{acl_m_PROTECTION}{1}}
          acl = greylist_acl
   accept condition = ${if eq{acl_m_PROTECTION}{2}}
          !local_parts = +skip_grey
          acl = greylist_acl
   accept condition = ${if eq{acl_m_PROTECTION}{3}}
          local_parts = +partial_grey
          acl = greylist_acl


This assumes that greylist_acl returns defer if the mail is to be deferred,
deny if not, and never accept.

What are skip_grey and partial_grey? Do they depend on the domain too?
