Well, from the ACL you sent to the list:
# Accept if the address is in a local domain, but only if the
recipient can
# be verified. Otherwise deny. The "endpass" line is the border
between
# passing on to the next ACL statement (if tests above it fail) or
denying
# access (if tests below it fail).

As you can see, if an accept clause fails it then passes on to the
next clause unless you put an endpass statement in. So, even if the
accept hosts = <whatever> fails the processing passes to down the ACL
and any accepts later on that match will cause the mail to be
accepted.
