Well, either learn Perl if you haven't yet, or hire someone who already has. Qmail-scanner is not a difficult nut to hack.

1- Validate Email addresses of the sender and the reciepient by using Mail::Valid perl module that can check a valid (mx or A ) for a given address before it is submitted to qmail-queue .
2- Create a universal interface to a user validation for the recieved mail . Check user existance before queineg the message for the user .
It makes no sense to check the recipient address for valid DNS records, since presumably you *are* the recipient. How to lookup valid users depends entirely on how your user db is stored -- LDAP, MySQL, some other virtual user scheme, or /etc/passwd. I don't know anything about Mail::Valid.

In general, the key would be finding where in qmail-scanner that decisions get made about whether to reject the mail, then add about seven lines of code.
