This is a bad idea. What about, for example, dialup lists? It also assumes
that you trust the veracity of the Received: headers that your mailserver
doesn't generate, although you can probably only stop the mail being
delivered, not persuade it to be, unless you end up with a whitelist.
If you're going to do this, it should be done in a procmail filter or
similar, not in the MTA.

What happens now is a lot less intensive for delivering the mail.

How do you propose to do this?
