I have:

      require verify = recipient


Which I think means much of the same thing - although I do have to confess
that a '!' in an ACL makes my head hurt; doing ACL checks *except* in
some situations confuses me. A group of us were talking about some potted examples
in the wiki a fortnight ago - some ACL ones would be good.

No -- it looks automatic. I've been looking at the docs, fail_verfiy is a kind of
inverse -- if the router accepts the address, then verification fails:

    -------------------------------------------------------
    -fail_verify-Use: routers-Type: boolean-Default: false-
    -------------------------------------------------------

    
    Setting this option has the effect of setting both fail_verify_sender and
    fail_verify_recipient to the same value.

    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    -fail_verify_recipient-Use: routers-Type: boolean-Default: false-
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    
    If this option is true and an address is accepted by this router when verifying
    a recipient, verification fails.
