[pfx] Postfix not using configured address_verify_sender

Hello, we are hitting a wall with address verification to a backend 
server that does not like double-bounce@domain as the address 
verification sender. We have tried to change the parameter from its 
default value to null sender (<>) and an explicit address via postconf 
and by editing main.cf with "postfix reload" and with a full restart but 
the probes continue to reach the backend as double-bounce@$maydomain.

We have even added double-bounce as a masquerade exception with no success.

We are using postfix 3.5.25

Relevant log line:
