receiver_verify is not set on my system because it causes the address
to be verified during the SMTP dialog. This does a MX lookup which in
turn causes my system to dial in to my ISP - something that is
definetely to be avoided. receiver_try_verify does the same - MX
lookup during SMTP dialog.
I'd be perfectly satisfied if verification would happen during the
queue run. Generating a bounce is fine - it is definietely not
necessary to reject the message immediately at the cost of dialing in
unnecessary.
If this is not possible, I'd suggest adding a configuration option
receiver_queue_verify.
Greetings
Marc
