You can save $recipients into an $acl_m_ variable in the data
acl and thus have the value available when doing delivery, but how
will that help? - recipients may be multiple...


When encrypting you need a single. if it's handling a single recipinet
you get you get $domain ansd $local_part which are probably what you
want. They're tainted so use them in a lookup to find the public key
(or the filename). some transports can handle muiltipe recipients in
a single transaction. they'll need to be configured to not attempt
that.
