It depends…

Syntax is correct, but not the idea behind. In the DATA ACL you can't
use $local_part, $domain, since you may have multiple recipients.

Though there is some $recipients variable, you can iterate through. But,
you can't use the results, as in the DATA ACL you reject or accept the
*message* for all recipients only. Not for a single recipient.

You can offer PRDR and the acl_smtp_data_prdr, to return different
responses for different recipients. But you can't rely on the sending
client to support PRDR.

For clients not supporting PRDR you can single out every recipient after
the first, using $recipients_count and defer. After this you're sure,
that your DATA ACL needs to care about a single recipient only.
