well, if you do not check the recipient at smtp time tough luck!
Since MyDoom started we've had about 400 rejected <> senders, a
handful because the scored too high in our spam filters (mainly
dnslists, but also HELO and other checks), the bulk simply because
addressed to unknown users.

I would not call that a big SPAM problem! If you have a secondary MX
that cannot check the local part in your domain(s), then get rid of
the secondary MX, it is of no much use anyway..
