I guess the question is whether it's quicker to get the RCPT TO:, do the query, and drop the conversation than it would be to fully receive a 33kb virus and THEN drop it.

We were talking about this somewhere else recently and one mentioned side

can really put the slow down on.
Our Antispam solution does a single LDAP catalog download about every 30
minutes and then caches it. As a result I don't get the junk emails to non
existent email address, nor do I suffer the congestion that the constant
query would cause.

Well sure To^H^HUriah, but I suspect I would be dropping *all* of those
regardless.

Perhaps it would be if there were ever a virus that hit <random>@yourdomain.com thousands of times per day, such as MyDoom/Novarg/Whatever. At least until the virus expired.

If you have Recipients filtering on in E2K3, then, yes, Exchange does close the session wihtout receiving anything for a non-existent address.
