That would be great... apart from:

At the point you're checking the .forward file, the message has been
accepted (as far as I recall). Rejection at this point for an invalid
sender is seen as back/outscatter and shouldn't, ideally, be done.
Before going on, why are invalid recipients getting to the delivery
phase? Do you have some form of catchall delivery system?
