You're quite right: I had placed the above within the ACL
acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
acl_check_rcpt:
...blah...
(Forgive me for omitting mentioning that in my original message!)
I had clean forgotten this only applied to messages arriving over
SMTP, having fooled myself with the introductory comment for the above
"accept" line:
acl_check_rcpt:
# Accept if the source is local SMTP (i.e. not over TCP/IP). We do
this by
# testing for an empty sending host field.
accept hosts = :
I had fixated on the "not over TCP/IP". :-(

I've now added the directive to an "acl_not_smtp" ACL and all works
perfectly. Many thanks for the revelation!
