Don't think so, sounds like it'd reject any sending host that lack an
A/MX record... And rather many do. So you'd likely shoot your own foot
with that one (IIRC there is no mandate that a sending host is
resolvable in the RFCs).

I hear milter-ahead is the wtg with sendmail, when wanting to reject
non-existing recipients.
