  Ah, but of course -- you are do a function call of procedure
recipient. What you wanted to do is:

	if [ "$recipient" ]; then
		...
	fi

Altough where-from you get that set is beyond me...
("log recipient: ..." does not set it..)

Per default you get all who have bad headers (and other such
cases) as well as those who come from outside and claim
originating from your system.  (IMAP, and POP users for example..)

	#
	# Configure error logging (squirrel)
	#

	squirrel badheader
	squirrel -breakin

First will log those with errors, while second will not log
IMAP/POP-users merely for using such partially defined protocol...

  No, but running parallel routers does help a lot.
