    You _must_ implement recipient validation, otherwise, you will generate
    backscatter (see the backscatter readme), and you will then be a good
    candidate for blocklisting.

    if you agree with the above, then you'll see that you should fix your
    design. not only the postfix machine, but also the mx.

    For exchange, Look at the "MS Exchange Integration" section on
    http://www.postfix.org/docs.html, or better get the BoP (book of postfix)

    If you can't get the lists of recipients (for one or all the servers),
    then use recipient address verification (as has been suggested):

    smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
            ...
            permit_mynetworks
            reject_unauth_destination
            check_recipient_access hash:$config_directory/rav_relay
            ...

    and in rav_relay put:
    domain.example reject_unverified_recipient
    .domain.example reject_unverified_recipient
    other.example reject_unverified_recipient
    .other.example reject_unverified_recipient

    then postfix will ask your final server whether the address exists
    before accepting email.

    do something similar on your mx of course.
