It won't work.

I can't think of a plausible example where you *need* to remember
stuff from filter_{relay,sender,recipient} in filter.  After all,
all of the information in the earlier functions is available to the
content-filtering functions.  In your case, just do your check in filter_begin
and use $RelayAddress.

For more info, see the mimedefang-filter man page.  See
GLOBAL VARIABLE LIFETIME.
