OK - looking at the docs again, I must have misunderstood things. By the
time we reach the routers, all we have is just one email addresses, to
find a router for. So in the case of sender verification, this will be
the sender's address, and "domains" will test against this one. Thank
you for your help - it seems to be working fine now.
