Probably documentation.

I know Postfix very well, and I am familiar with
$smtpd_delay_reject. I disagree, however, that this makes
a restriction that looks at the sender address "mostly configured in
the smtpd_recipient_restrictions".

I would agree if you said: since Debian sets $smtpd_delay_reject by
default, it doesn't matter where you put it. However, it remains
a sender restriction.
