What do you run on your relays?  If Exim4 then rush to implement smtp
callout (first making sure that Exchange does reject invalid mail).  If
not, consider LDAP.

Some people have expressed concerns about possible latency with smtp
callout but it caches the lookup results (with tunable expiry times on
cache records).
