Ah, you don't store the mail locally but forward the mail to an external
system outside of your control.

Then, of course, you are between a rock and a hard place.

But as the others said, a callout to an external system to verify a
complete mail address is dangerous and will land you on multiple
automatated blacklists.

Verifing the existance of a domain via a DNS lookup is fine of course,
but checking the localpart is bad. Please don't do this.

Sven.
