It sounds to me as though you are perfectly capable (and willing) to run an MX
server of your own, so why not just register your own domain, and have the MX
for it pointed at your own machine, where you can apply whatever filter/reject
rules you like, with complete freedom?
You might be able to get a combined hosting provider / registrar to act as
backup MX for you for a reasonable price too (it's never good to have only a
single MX).

You can get a hosted root-server VM with a static IP for less than $30/month.
Your own machine, your own choice of software, your own rules, and cheaper
too.
