Has it already been mentioned that you should delete the
!verify=recipient line from the drop stanza? There's no point in it
there.

Also, I'm wondering how drop interacts with pipelining mode, where
the sender can stream RCPT TO commands without waiting for reponses.
The TCP input queue could be filled with them by the time your drop
is acted on.
