Thanks for everyone answer ! I removed the quotes, and revert the
condition (check if NO instead of YES). So that the condition looks like
this:

condition       = ${if eq {ENABLE_ANTISPAM}{NO}{no}{yes}}


I have noticed after adding some logging to a MySQL table (for reject
mails) that the "local_part" and "domain" are only defined in RCPT acl,
not in DATA and MAIL. That was part of my problem too.

Am I right to assume that the variable "recipient" in DATA acl will only
contain multiple email address if the email is sent through the same
SMTP server ? My server need authentication to send emails, so I don't
check SPAM/Greylisting on those emails since it is a trusted user. I
sent a multiple-recipient emails to a few address destinated to the same
domain from GMail and Hotmail, and they were going through as "single
recipient" email. Is there cases where it wouldn't be ?

Thanks a lot for the help !
