AFAIK this is in place by default. But sender_verify only sends a 4xx error
code, does it not? Or am I totally wrong here?

What does verify_only do?

Ok. That is one thing I was looking for :) - I'll look in the documentation
what receiver_verify does :)

I guess by outgoing I mean if one of my users sends mail (using a MUA).
Incoming is mail inbound for my user. I guess the boundaries between
incoming and outgoing are blurred, depending on the perspective.

Ok... I might be able to use relay_match_host_or_sender, but I need to
verify that the sender part is ANY valid user in the $domain-aliases file.
That I don't know how to do. How would I split the address on the left and
the right of the @-sign (e.g. localpart@domain) and then search for the
localpart in the $domain-aliases file?

future too :)
Thanks Philip.
