If you have a local alias table for all recipients, you can do that:
some.user@...   login@...

milter-ahead is another option that will let you check the recipient
validity before accepting the mail.

I'm also considering writing a milter that would reject any mail to a
recipient not listed in a file. That should be easy to do and quite
stable. I'll need to find a name: milter-badrcpt? :)
