In fact, I do - smart man.  What I have is this:
  accept domains = +local_domains
         endpass
         message = unknown user
         verify = recipient


  accept domains = +relay_to_domains
         endpass
         message = unrouteable address
         verify = recipient


Verifying recipient is trivial for the relay_to_domains, so I don't need
to do callouts. Should I switch the ordering of these statements, do
you think? That seems the easiest.

Ordinarily, full ACK. On this box, I don't have the fastest link speed,
however, and my goal is to weed unnecessary bandwidth by not accepting
messages unnecessarily. The domains I am backup MX'ing are all small,
vanity-type domains with a stable userbase.

Thanks,
