The way out of this is to ensure that your address *does* verify. Set up
a router with verify_only and verify_sender set, and arrange that it
likes your address. I think I posted an example of such a thing
yesterday (and it will be in the forthcoming revised FAQ). Here it is
again (verifying root@???):
verify_exceptions:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
domains = some.domain.com
local_parts = root
verify_only
verify_sender
route_list = * localhost byname
self = send
While testing this I realized that some of those options are redundant
while verifying. They are, however, required in the current release. In
the next release you will be able to cut that down to
verify_exceptions:
driver = domainlist
domains = some.domain.com
local_parts = root
verify_only
verify_sender
route_list = *
