Earliest you can do this in in the 'acl_smtp_rcpt' phase, plenty early enough to
reject while still online - and regardless of your queue settings.

No need to take onboard or scan mail that is not for a bona-fide user.

have a look at:

require verify = recipient

The only other thing you *might* want to do is to add a few aliases for common
mis-spellings of user local_part where that has been a factor.

Otherwise, a catch-all can be bad news.
