Sure thing.

In yer' RCPT ACL:

    discard        senders     = :
    # if you don't want to be rude, detect if the recipient is a catchall.
    # if catchall has a separate router, add sumthin' like:
    # "address_data = catchall" (and "address_data =" in other routers)
    # in yer' catchall router.
                        domains        = +local_domains
                        verify        = recipient
                        condition    = ${if eq{catchall}{$address_data}}
                        message        = Yummy!


Not tested, though.
