qmail-smtpd does NOT reject any mail during the SMTP dialogue because it
deosn't check the validity of the local address. This is by design. If
you like, you could look at the qmail-uce patches, but these are not
going to be maintained by the author. If rejecting bounces at SMTP time
is important to you, you may have to consider switching away from qmail.
