Just to provide some numbers, here are our reject statistics as of a Postfix reporting script.
In the first month of using recipient validation at MTA level, reject rate was around 53% (Monday, 190kmsgs rejected). Yesterday (Monday), 4 months later: 39% rejects (160kmsgs rejected). Number of "received" inbound messages has gone up by 30% in 4 months. I don't know if these numbers show that spammers have both stopped trying random addresses and started bombing valid ones or something else; but I am sure our SMTP listeners in the last days have been doing a lot of work!
