Thank you Viktor, that perfectly explains what I am seeing! And gives me less concern knowing this is intentional and that the relay restriction will be evaluated if the recipient restrictions pass. I wonder if the order should be based on the compatibility setting? Bumping up to compatibility_level = 2 is on my short list. At the very least it seems the documentation should be corrected; in general the docs are extremely detailed and precise, which is why I had not considered that might be the issue! thank you, Greg
