Hello Wietse,

You must have been reading my mind...

I was indeed trying (agreed, a bit confusingly) to check whether I could have 
overlooked some intermediate between the quick smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient 
and the heavyweight reject_unverified_recipient.

Many thanks for your thorough reply,
Axel
