You can enable the `blacklist_recipients' feature, by adding this to
your sendmail.mc file:
FEATURE(`access_db', `hash -T<TMPF> -o /etc/mail/access')
FEATURE(`blacklist_recipients')
Then, adding entries like this to /etc/mail/access and rebuilding the
access.db map will block email for the particular address:
To:user@host.domain REJECT
or even the more descriptive:
To:user@host.domain ERROR:550 Mailbox disabled for this recipient
If you need more help for making the `access.db' map work and updating
the configuration files in `/etc/mail', feel free to ask.
