smtpd_data/end_of_data_restrictions has no information about
recipients of multi-recipient mail. Acting on only one recipient
would be misleading, because any decision will affect all recipients
equally. Acting on all recipients would also require a possibly
very large amount of memory, and would also be misleading for the
reasons mentioned before.
