The question is, how much extra work can you expect the sending relay
to do to accommodate your scanning quirks?   You can always insert your
own relay in the transport that accepts multiple addresses and forwards
one address at a time like qmail does.  You will just have to construct
your own bounces for the users that want things rejected instead of
being able to push that work off on the sending relay.

I suppose you could use some virtual machine tricks to make every
individual appear to be on a different host if you really want to
keep the rest of the world from grouping addresses.
