  Then say that.

  No.

  What you posted was:

>       set email_domain = "%{1}"

  NOTHING in the documentation or examples says you can do:

	set email_domain = ...

  If other people say it worked for them, then they're not telling the truth.

  Again, you can't invent syntax.  Using "set email_domain" is inventing syntax.

  Please stop arguing, and fix the configuration so that it matches the examples and documentation.  This means the configuration does NOT use the word "set", and DOES use an "update" section.
