not the filtering, just the filter configuration.  MTA-resident complex
content filtering with different per-recipient outcomes is not compatible
with recipient enumeration preceding the data block;

It can still be done. It just needs a bit of trickery with 4xx replies.
It's ugly as hell, and it increases mail traffic (and CPU usage for
filtering), but it works.

see http://www.ehsco.com/misc/I-Ds/draft-hall-inline-dsn-01.txt which uses
per-recipient codes after the data block (the LMTP model)

It's not likely that spammers would use it however
