If you are satisfied with droping based on the mail From: line (which may
or may not match the From: in the body) qmail is equiped with the
dir/control/badmailfrom file. add the address there.
There is a patch (it required some tweaking to work on my install..) that
uses a badmailpatterns file instead, and allows you to use wildcard
expressions to drop by...either mail from: or rcpt to: matches.

And for an even broader scope, if you apply the qmail-queue patch, you can
stick all sorts of filters in after -smtpd to accept or reject...though
without patching qmail.c I dont see any way to change the error messages
that are given on blocked mail (exit(31))
http://www.qmail.org/qmailqueue-patch
Dru has a python script that allows you (the latest version, thanks
Dru!) to block, drop, or save off to a file based on a regular
expression(requires the qmail-queue patch)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmfilt/
I'd still like to figure out a way to use custom bounce messages ala the
way bouncesaying does....anyone have any idea?
thanks...david
