I hate to rain on your parade, but I believe this method is self-defeating.
In order to allow "random" mail-addresses to be valid on your system -- and
you do, I checked -- you basically open yourself up to even more spam, as a
probing spam server will find an endless supply of valid email addresses for
your domain. They may all go to the same controlling user, but it will eat
up your resources.
The more serious consequence of dropping the valid user requirement, is that
you deprived your server of a decent method of informing a connecting server
that a user account no longer exists.
