I wouldn't mind seeing this implemented.
There are many a system account that should never "see" email from outside -
dependant upon the site that could include such wonders as root,
administrator, sys, etc... So a blacklist_to line would be rather nice to
get implemented, here we don't generally bounce messages to those accounts -
just due to internal system configurations we want internal mail delivered
to those addresses quite a bit - but not directed elsewhere, and because in
most cases I'm rather lazy on some machines we still get inbound mail for
those addresses.

Cassandra
