if you read the OP question with attention you will notice that he
wasn't really asking about callouts... Or better, first he asked
about callouts but then he noticed that he would like to test if the
whole e-mail will be accepted before giving the response to DATA. The
only problem is that his whole thinking is incorrect, as there is no
way to give a response specific to one recipient at that stage.
One solution would be to simply not bouncing on failed forwarding. I
think setting errors_to in the forwarding router to point to the
local email administrator will do that.
