You have an MX that blindly accepts all recipients, and then
generates bounces for the invalid ones? Bad, *very* bad.

Plain verify_recipient just confirms that there's a router that will
accept the message. Your "smart_route" router is accepting all
recipients for your domain. Either teach your MX what the valid user
list is, or enable callouts on your verify_recipient so it can ask
the internal box.
