Have a look at my check_validrcptto_cdb plugin: http://robinbowes.com/projects/check_validrcptto_cdb If you can generate a list of valid users on your systems somehow then this can seriously cut down on the amount of messages you accept for further processing. This and the check_earlytalker plugin are the two single-most effective plugins in my setup. I must do some stats... R.
