No, recipient filtering against AD means that any message destined for
an invalid/unknown recipient in your org will be rejected by the SMTP
service on your server and will not be accepted. Much more efficient.
This will not route messages to unknown recpients to a mailbox.
When your server rejects the message with a 550 response, the sending
server will report that error back to the sender so they will know the
recipient doesnt exist.
Many people recommend that when you implement recipient filtering,
that you also implement tarpitting to prevent possible directory
harvesting, but I think that concern is overblown, but here is how to
tarpit as well:

If you really want to route messages destined for unknown recipients
to a single mailbox, use the KB I linked in my previous post. I would
recommend against it however.
