Postfix has several checkpoints, so while smtpd_recipient_restrictions
is one, there is also smtpd_sender_restrictions and that need similar
logic.  For instance your incoming emails may be side-tracked by checks
in smtpd_helo_restrictions before smtpd_recipient_restrictions is ever
analysed.   Try adding similar logic to smtpd_sender_restrictions.
