Then, one of

- (most likely)   The recipient was accepted due to one of the two preceding "accept" verbs.
                   Verbs in an ACL are executed in top-to-bottom order, and an "accept" which
                   succeeds (ie. all conditions true) exits the ACL, telling the ACL the accept result.

   If this one is the case, you need to decide what classes of hosts you wish to apply
   the recipient-verify to.

- The "acl_check_rcpt" is not actually your recipient ACL

- You forgot to reload the config into the daemon, after editing it
