So, I now have set
hosts_treat_as_local = "S".
While this seems to solve the immediate problem, it causes log file
entries with verification of sender addresses of domain example.com
with
example.com MX 10 S
example.com MX 20 E
|2000-04-13 09:16:48 remote host address is the local host: example.com (while verifying <sender@???> from host S [s1.s2.s3.s4])
|2000-04-13 09:16:48 warning: temporarily unable to resolve sender address: accepted unverified <sender@???> H=S [s1.s2.s3.s4] (root)

|2000-04-13 09:16:49 12fdrs-0003dI-00 Completed
Do I have to turn off sender verification for example.com or is there
a way to make verification work in spite of hosts_treat_as_local?
