Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that. If a message is addressed to
friendly@??? and you have no user called "friendly", then
receiver_verify should reject it. You don't need verify_only.

Now, if a message is addressed (on the envelope) to realuser@???
but the headers contain

To: friendly@???

then the only thing you can do is to check it *after* it has been
received, since you have to receive it in order to inspect the headers.
A system filter can do that kind of check.
