I had, in fact, (on a double-take) understood that that was what you
were asking... the answer is "no".

I'm afraid not.

verify = header_sender/<options>
This condition is relevant only in an ACL that is run after a message
has been received, that is, in an ACL specified by "acl_smtp_data" or |
"acl_not_smtp". It checks that there is a verifiable address in at least |
one of the Sender:, Reply-To:, or From: header lines. Such an address is |
loosely thought of as a 'sender' address (hence the name of the test). |
(That's from the 4.50 manual.) So the answer is "yes".
