There is, but in general you should avoid it. If you accept mail from a
faked address which is addressed to a non-existent user, and then you
generate a bounce to that faked address, you are making yourself part of
the problem.
It would be OK to do it _just_ for this insane and broken customer
though -- turn off the 'verify=recipient' in your RCPT ACL _just_ for
the IP address(es) from which they connect, or for connections which are
authenticated, or something like that. Don't do it system-wide though.
