>From the documentation "11.7 Expansion conditions":


| isip {<string>}, isip4 {<string>}, isip6 {<string>}
| 
|     The substring is first expanded, and then tested to see if it has the form
|     of an IP address. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are valid for isip, whereas 
|     isip4 and isip6 test specifically for IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
| 
|     For an IPv4 address, the test is for four dot-separated components, each of
|     which consists of from one to three digits. For an IPv6 address, up to
|     eight colon-separated components are permitted, each containing from one to
|     four hexadecimal digits. There may be fewer than eight components if an
|     empty component (adjacent colons) is present. Only one empty component is
|     permitted.



In your case <string> will be $sender_address_domain.
