the problem is that by that time your mail server has ACCEPTED the email
and if it is to be further individually rejected ... you have to decide 
what to do with it
where as reject at smtp time leave the sending server with the task and 
RESPONSIBILITY of dealing with it

you cant bounce it ... naughty naughty
if its legitimate you need to notify the recipient ... ooops possible 
swamping cos of spoofed email

basically this is a more general issue of not being able to deal with 
individual recipients and their custom filter settings at the smtp stage
