I think validating recipients at the MX is something like a minimum
requirement for anyone running a mail server. Accepting an email and
then sending a bounce is very rude.

Right. Several people have written plugins to get valid recipients from
different sources (For example, I wrote one which uses a plain text
config file). Unfortunately, none of them made it into the core
distribution (as of 0.31.1, I haven't looked at the trunk for some
time).

I don't think these solve the problem.
