Explain to me why that relay couldn't do its own SMTP-level rejection?

If you're a secondary MX, life gets interesting.

True, but there are service bureaus such as a AVS proxy services who are
concern about these issues like this and are beginning to use SMTP software
that check a downlink email address whitelist automatically sent to them by
the downlink.  This helps the process.  Everyone benefits by reducing
unnecessary loads.
