Subject:   Blocking an individual email address

I am running a FreeBSD 5.4p10 machine at my office.  It functions as our =
firewall and mailserver.  I am running Mailscanner, which invokes =
sendmail when necessary to process mail.  Sendmail is not started by =
default....Mailscanner invokes individual instances of it when it needs =
to.

Here is my problem.  I have an employee at my office that is sending =
work email to her home email address.  I need to find a way to block her =
email address, whether To, From, Cc, Bcc, or whatever, from passing =
through my mailserver.  I have already added a line to /etc/mail/access  =
(in the format  email@address.com      REJECT), and have run makemap =
hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access.     I tested this with my =
personal email address (external to my network), and it had the effect =
of blocking any email orginating from my personal email to any address =
at my work, however it does not prevent me from sending emails to this =
address from a work address, which is the whole point.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I could tag the address as spam, but I =
would rather not.  There has to be a way to block anyone from sending to =
a certain email address, I would think.

Any help would be appreciated.

-Jim
