I think the determining factor needs to be how clients will actually handle

If, on the other
hand, messages tailored for a each recipient is going to be the norm, then
VRFY is the correct approach.
If the sender is concerned about optimizing for each recipient, they can
get that effect by reducing to a single RCPT-TO per DATA.
So it is not as pretty as the separate command, but it permits roughly the
same mode of operation.
