Those options do a verify and tell you the answer. They do not consult
sender_verify_hosts. If you want to test whether it will verify for mail
coming in from a specific host, you must use the -bh option to run a
test SMTP session as if from that host.

Please post output from a -bh run that demonstrates this. In fact, it's
probably worth adding -d9 as well, to get full debugging output.

So another host IS involved.

I'm afraid that just isn't enough detail for me to figure out what is
going on. I need to see your configuration and the output of a -bh test.
