A method that is almost certainly impractical for an ISP, but 
eminently doable for corporate / small user community use, is to 
add the most commonly 'known and probable' mis-spellings and 
variants as aliases.

Otherwise, the MTA itself should NOT ordinarily apply any 
wildcard or generalized rules for such.

Silently delivering possibly-sensitive information to the wrong 
recipient is potentially far worse than bouncing it, and one has 
to wonder how effective 'require verify = recipients' could 
remain as a block to zombie broadcasts if soem algorithmic 
munging were in place.
