The To: From: headers have no relation to postfix delivery. All
delivery is based on envelope addresses.

Nothing wrong here.  The address verification is in progress and the
client is free to retry delivery.  Presumably the verification
completed a few seconds later.  This will be noted in the log.

If you wish to exempt some recipient from verification, add a
check_recipient_access map before the reject_unverified_recipient

Typically, reject_unverified_recipient would be after
reject_unauth_destination to prevent verifying random internet
recipients, or in a check_recipient_access map to limit the scope of
the checks.  Something like:

dontverif...@example.com  DUNNO
listserv.example.com  DUNNO
example.com  reject_unverified_recipient

relay_recipient_maps does not exempt addresses from the
reject_unverified_recipient check.  See the above example for how to
exempt addresses from verification.

Headers are irrelevant for this discussion.  Postfix logs will show
what is happening.
