The above story is true if you don't use address_verification_mumble
overrides.

SENDMAIL(1) SENDMAIL(1)

-bv Do not collect or deliver a message. Instead, send an email
report after verifying each recipient address. This is useful
for testing address rewriting and routing configurations.
This feature is available in Postfix version 2.1 and later.
Just like address probes, this sets a "do not deliver, send a fake
delivery status notification message" bit on the message.
Actually, it's a different fake delivery status notification message
than with address probes; it becomes a real email message. Verify
probe results are absorbed internally.
