Here's an example of how I use it:

  accept  condition      = ${if def:header_x-atmail-account:{yes}{no}}
          hosts          = +iv_live_hosts
          set acl_c_webmail = 1


Pay close attention to the fact that there are no curly braces around
the def:header_$HEADER part.

Of course you could do anything you wanted to aside from setting that
acl, including adding a header. Make sure you think about the inverse
though. What do you want to do if that header _DOES_ exist already?
If nothing, you are in good shape, but if you need to do something
different, you have to make a second check and change the condition
slightly. Also note that I have accept for the verb. If you're just
testing for presence, that would probably mean a "warn" is called for
instead.
