We have a Linux mail relayer on the outside of our network.

Every night, we do an export of user smtp addresses (we exclude and
PFs, DLs and anything else we don't want e-mail sent to).  We then
copy that file to a secure location on the Linux box.  Any e-mail that
comes in is compared to that text file.  If the SMTP address being
sent to isn't in the list, it doesn't get delivered.
