What does this patch do that chkuser doesn't already do?
One big thing that I like is that it can have custom reject messages for each address. So, if I have to kill an address that's overwhelmed with spam, I can have a custom reject like "that address is no longer in use, try fred at smith.com instead". That way a human sending email to my old address could (possibly) see the reject and know to try the new address.
I also like that if you're going to have a separate server to do all of your spam/virus scanning, it just needs a single cdb file to know what addresses are good and which are bad. AND, if you do spam/virus scanning for other people (who may host their email on an Exchange server, for example), you can continue to reject email to bad addresses.
