I don't know about milter-regex, but with postfwd you can reply at
RCPT TO time and claim a 'user unknown' status for any reason (in
your case, on who the client is).
smtpd_recipient_instructions =
...
reject_unauth_destiation
check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:port
...
With a postfwd "action=550 5.1.1 whatever..." you can then
claim a 'user unknown' condition and Postfix will be bappy
to tell that to the SMTP client.
