(a) If your mail all comes from a major relay, get the relay to do the
verification before sending the mail to you.

OR

(b) Set no_verify on the router which sends everything to your major
relay, and insert a new router with verify_only that does general
routing using DNS lookups (e.g. the default lookuphost router), or any
other verification you want.
