The feature is nice and desirable but I have concerns with the syntax. 
rcpt means recipient, it sounds weird to add the sender. What about introducing
a new keyword? (it would probably make the parser simplier)

Another starnge thing is that I'd expect /grandma@...,user@.../
to be single regex, what about this? /grandma@.../ /user@.../

We could do something like this:
rcptfrom grandma@... user@...
rcptfrom grandma@... /.*/

I'm not happy with "rcptfrom", I think we can find better. What do you think?

Another problem is that it does not cope very well with the rcpt-acl idea.
Maybe we can come to a much more general acl syntax. Anyone has a proposition?
