Is there any way to query the Exchange box (using LDAP maybe) so you can
reject the message before relaying it?  That's the only safe/sane way to
do it.

A less pretty way would be to automate a dump of your Exchange mailboxes
into some reasonable format and copy the dump to your MIMEDefang box
every so often.  Then have it reject users not in the list.
