NO. badmailfrom is read by qmail-smtpd which is run for each SMTP
session. There is absolutely NO reason to HUP qmail-send. qmail-send
NEVER reads badmailfrom. man qmail-control to see which process uses
which control file.
Adding the name to badmailfrom is sufficient to block mail from this user
as long as he doesn't change his address in his mail program.
