The point would be able to include a default reject rule for each 
domain, which means that you have to supply valid forwards for all 
addresses you don't want to reject at the relay.  (You could default to 
forwarding, but that doesn't help with the backscatter issue).  But that 
doesn't change the ability to queue/deliver except that the relay has to 
accept the domains as local to do the virtuser lookup so the new target 
has to have a different name for the delivery host.   I'm not sure how 
that relates to your distinction between forwarding and queuing. 
Sendmail has local and remote addresses, but remote ones all go through 
the same steps.
