I seek clarification about reject_unlisted_recipient and 
smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient

If smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient is enabled, WHEN does this check take place 
in the scheme of smtpd_*_restrictions?  I'm not sure, but it looks like it 
might happen only if and after a PERMIT in the recipient restrictions?  Can 
someone say for certain if/when/where this check happens?

If smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient is enabled, what effect does adding 
reject_unlisted_recipient to smtpd_*_restrictions have?  Is one or the other 
ignored?

If only using reject_unlisted_recipient, I think it would need to be located in 
smtpd_*_restrictions before things like permit_mynetworks, otherwise local 
senders will cause bounces for sending to invalid addresses instead of getting 
an immediate rejection.  Is this right?  If smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient 
forces the check to happen after a PERMIT (see my first question), that's a 
better solution for this because otherwise external systems can use it as an 
address verify service??
