You're comparing apples and oranges, but I understand what you mean.
local_recipient_maps specifies lookup tables that Postfix will consult if
the recipient address domain is local (i.e. listed in mydestination). This
check takes place at the end of smtpd_recipient_restrictions, unless you
explicitly place a reject_unlisted_recipient restriction somewhere else.
For example, the configuration below avoids useless RBL lookups for
invalid recipients by making the recipient check first. Typically you'd
want to perform the least expensive checks first.
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
reject_unauth_destination,
reject_unlisted_recipient,
reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org
