Bounce from "destination server" as SPAM - header/received too short!

[Glenn Steen]

Actually... All you need do is configure recipient verification in postfix
(this is in-built and documented well several places, like the postfix doc
site or the MailScanner wiki). Alternatively maintain a relay recipient map
or an access map (both are fairly trivial to set up).
Doing any of these will reject instead of bounce, for unknown recipients.
Flip side of the coin is that you may expose your recipient "universe", for
easy mapping (regardless if you have disabled vrfy), but... That's just how
it is:-)

Cheers
