This has been suggested before, and ACLs suggested for it.

However, I have often wondered about its reliability?  Do most 
well-behaved MTAs properly re-transmit only the refused recipients (second 
recipient and higher)?  Are there cases where an MTA will try and submit 
all the recipients again on re-connecting?  Is it a big enough problem to 
worry about?
