AFAIK, RFC 2822, as well its predecessor, RFC 822, does not _require_ an
SMTP server to accept email. An SMTP server which can't determine that
it can't deliver email to a given email address, should not accept email
to that email address. Period. If the server can't be configured to
verify that received email is deliverable, it _should_ refuse to handle
that email during the SMTP transaction.
