Yes. But the checking of local parts depends on the domain.

If it's a remote domain, that is all that will happen for -bvs, which
just runs the routers in verify mode. If you want to check local parts,
you have to use the "callout" options in ACLs. There isn't a simple
command-line option for doing that kind of check. Maybe there should
be...
