If no prior acl's have skipped over these...

Should deny remote callers who fail sender verification callout.
Should NOT deny your local_domain users, and may not even test them.

Will accept anything with $domain in the hostlist of +local_domains.
No other test is being performed at this point.

Will not call 'verify = recipient' IF the $domain IS in +local_domains

>          verify = recipient

Will only be called if the $domain is NOT in +local_domains

Possible unwanted side effect:  the 'endpass' may also skip other acl code not 
shown to us. Use it with great care and much testing, ELSE set an acl_ variable 
flag, and test THAT whenever/wherever appropriate.

You might consider combining the conditions:

## If it is NOT our user, we don't care about the sender
## if it IS our user we want at least some evidence of credible sender

deny
    !verify = recipient
    !verify = sender/callout=15s


## No endpass needed.

CAVEAT: *many* legitimate senders WILL fail a sender verify callout.

So:

deny
    !verify = recipient

## any point in *ever* taking traffic for folks that do not exist?


warn
    !verify     = sender/callout=15s
    set acl_??  = 1
    log_message = Sender $sender_host_address - failed SV $sender_verify_failure

  - Then use the value of acl_?? later to see how harsh you wish to be, i.e. is 
it the sole fault?  One of just two faults? - in an otherwise well-behaved 
arrival.  Or is it just one more of *many* unwanted characteristics?

HTH,

Bill
