Read about wildlsearch and nwildlsearch in section 9.3 of the specification.
It should allow you to say, for example (with nwildlsearch):

^\d+@mydomain\.com :fail:No such user

*However*, you should really prefer only accepting specifically valid
addresses, rather than accepting everything and trying to block out the spam
attacks of the day.
