You could add the verify recipient for the "acl_not_smtp" acls, however
this will be for the whole message no matter how many recipients
involved and is a permanent failure. This may mean that the message is
silently discarded or that an ugly error message is sent to the user of
the php script. An option might be that you could do something like
control=freeze for those recipients that fail to verify so that you
accept the whole message but nothing makes its way to your smarthost.
