I think you're missing the oft-discussed one here: reject at SMTP time.
You can set a custom SMTP message, so for the 1 false-positive per year
that's from a "real" person, they will get your "sorry" message (albeit
slightly buried in a bounce generated from an MTA closer to them).

If you're not familiar with this method, my HOWTO might help give a quick
