Why would your management want you to play MTA?
Rejecting at the MTA or generating NDNs would make it _their_
problem... Which it really is anyway.
If some users (in a not-to-large "userbase") have addresses that
often get "common" typos, you'd be far better off adding relevant
aliases... Oh well, PHBs...
