Out of interest, I have a custom build of James running in production that does exactly this. As I recall, I added a few lines to the doRCPT method of SMTPHandler.java to instantitate JDBCVirtualUserTable and reject the recipient if not found in the table. Bandwidth usage dropped significantly.

Obviously, I'm hoping that the in-protocol handler being developed will remove the need for a custom build.

I have seen that you can get into block lists simply for sending DSN
responses.  Therefore, I believe that we're going to need to support
in-protocol virtual user table translation, so that we can NAK the address
without needing to send a bounce.
