SpamAssassin cannot block or eliminate spam. It does not have the facilities to
do that. SA can only score potential spam.
Whatever method you used to glue SA into your mail path needs to parse the
score SA assigned in the returned mail, and do whatever routing it thinks is
appropriate.
We do not know what glue you are using to put SA into your mail path, so it is
hard to give suggestions on how to set that unknown software up. With more
details of your setup we may be able to help.
We can suggest rules to assign a score to mail if it comes from a particular
account. But something other than SA will then have to deal with that score and
do the routing.

Can you ban this user in whatever your equivalent of the access file is so
instead of putting the messages into a spam folder, you reject messages from
that address at delivery time (SMTP)?
