This is not actually possible with SMTP. Various MTAs do have the functionality to let you know if they can route to that domain, but that still does not guarentee that the username will be accepted, or that the MX host for that domain is actually accepting mail.
That's the point. The feature is highly dependant of the underlying mail system and it makes less sense to support this issue in the Zope core. You can always subclass Mailhost and write a customized version and publish it but I believe it is not very suitable for the Zope core distribution. Andreas
