Go look at RFC 2821 and show me how to reject the message for one recipient
and accept it for another?

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but we do exactly this by simply
returning 2xx to some RCPT TO while returning 4xx or 5xx to others, all
based on the recipient's mail control settings in our directory.

Yes you are missing something.... Scott Kitterman was referring to rejecting an email based upon its content, and thus only after the DATA phase of the email.
