I am pretty sure (and I am sure others who know better can correct me) that the router can't do what you want.


For inbound mail, the router first looks at the connecting IP (24.128.170.237 in your example) to see if it is blacklisted.

It then looks at the return path ([EMAIL PROTECTED] in your example) to see if it is routed to error and to make sure it is a valid domain (if you have selected that option).

It then checks the envelope addresses ([my usual account] in your example) to see if they are routed to a spamtrap.

If none of these actions discards the mail, it then performs "normal" routing on the envelope addresses.

This means that the router never sees at the reverse lookup of the connecting IP, which is what you are trying to use to route the mail.
