Thanks to everyone who responded, but I seem to have found a solution.
I was under the impression by setting receiver_try_verifer = true that it
would not check aliases, but it seems to check all my aliases files and
will only reject if the user is not a valid user, nor an alias for a domain.
This does not solve the problem of my catch all aliases for a domain, (i.e. *: chris).
I will just have to be more specific and let it reject email which does not
have an alias set or is not a real user.
Now the task of migrating all my email accounts to be in a MySQL DB so I can
remove all these unix accounts on my system.
Thanks again,
Chris

It should not break. Unless you have set no_verify on the respective
aliasfile director(s).
