Always configure recipient validation before completing the SMTP

Bad karma - dev nulling email.
Misspelt email address will result in unacknowledged lost email. Not
such a problem for "Mike", but take pity on the Fay{e}s, Graemes,
Grahames, and Saras of this world.
Yep, you a correct, I have been thinking about and the best route is to validate the user, I was only doing this because I was being lazy, to save me having to update smtp in two places.
The next question is how I do this, I have looked at my setup and I am surprised I am not rejecting everything.
I am using spamassassin which used two sendmail's to 'do it's stuff'So I need to modify the incoming one to reject invalid users, which should solve the problem.
