you could switch on callout verification of senders, which
will test that the sender's address is deliverable, rather
than just that their domain exists -- add,

    require verify = sender/callout


to the MAIL ACL. You could also check just that the
domain-part of the address exists with the dns lookup at
the same point, but I haven't an example to hand.
