I am not excusing the sender's actions, I am simply stating that if you
are going to accept an email for delivery then you should deliver it, to
do otherwise gives a false impression to the sender.
but this is not solveable in any way
if you reject mails to "nore...@yourdomain.com" you will fail

You can reject emails but still allow the address to pass the VRFY
command, or better yet, just disable the VRFY command all-together which
has other benefits.
In postfix' case, "address verification" does not mean "use the SMTP
VRFY command".
It means "send a specially-crafted, actual email message and record
whether the recipient is accepted or not."
It is documented in detail here:
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html
This will fail if, as previously mentioned, your MTA rejects a recipient
address that was previously allowed to send mail.
Using VRFY is unreliable because there will be few MTAs in the wild that
allow it anymore, due to its obvious spamability.
