If forwarding to an MS Exchange server, md_check_against_smtp_server() 
won't work as
exchange will always accept recipients and then send out seperate "user 
not found" emails after the fact.  since this is the case, you'll want 
to look into using either LDAP lookups to validate users or use some 
scripts to export your valid AD users into a local user table on the 
mail gateway.  Both solutions have been discussed on this list.

hope this helps
