Well that's not a bug, that's a feature ;-)

Actually, the rcpthosts is checked *prior* to executing the plugins, but the 
result is used *after*. This is to make it possible for a plugin to be aware 
of this result and optionally skip this rcpthosts check (using the "O" 
command).

I don't remember why I've added it, probably someone requested this, but 
please give me some more time to meditate on it and come up with an ultimate 
solution :-).

As a temporary workaround, you may write a tiny plugin checking if 
SMTPRCPTHOSTSOK=1 and exiting with well-known "E553 sorry, that domain isn't 
in my list (...)". By adding it as first to the chain of plugins, you should 
minimize the impact of this bug.

Any ideas welcome, as always.

Bye,
