Oh! I did not realize that. I made that change and it had absolutely
no effect whatsoever. Good to know I'm doing things (theoretically)
wrong -- guess I'd better fix all my ACLs.

That's fine -- I much prefer it to qmail-style "I'm sorry it didn't work
out". But is there any way to override it here? I'd be much happer
with, say,
451 Temporary problem - unable to verify header sender address(es)
or something. Right now, if I see "Temporary local problem", I think
"uh-oh! bug in my local_scan() function!", because I have things setup
to return LOCAL_SCAN_TEMPREJECT if my Python local_scan() raises an
exception. So having that message scattered around the logs is not good
for my self-confidence. ;-)
