all smtpd_recipient_restrictions can appear in smtpd_sender_restrictions.

from man 5 postconf:

smtpd_sender_restrictions (default: empty)
       Optional restrictions that the Postfix SMTP server applies in the con-
       text of the MAIL FROM command.

[list of restrictions]

       Other restrictions that are valid in this context
[...]
       · SMTP command specific restrictions described under smtpd_recipi-
              ent_restrictions. When recipient restrictions are listed under
              smtpd_sender_restrictions, they have effect only with
              "smtpd_delay_reject = yes", so that $smtpd_sender_restrictions
              is evaluated at the time of the RCPT TO command.
