No, it would be better to give up on smtp-forward. It isn't suitable to
your needs, as I explained in my previous mail.
You could use it as a starting point to write a plugin which does smtp
callouts during the rcpt hook.
But as it currently is, it is only suitable to forward a message which
has already been accepted. At that point you must already have
established that all recpipients exist and there is no sane way to
handle errors any more.
