I was wrong again, sorry, but I believe I got it right this time:

1. Edit the /etc/mail/access file.

2. Insert a line like this one:

To:mailbox at some.domain.tld REJECT

3. Save the /etc/mail/access file.

4. Change to the /etc/mail directory if not already there.

5. Run the make command to update the /etc/mail/access.db.

6. Try to send email to the blacklisted recipient.

7. If successful, the sender should recieve:

reason: 550 5.2.1 <mailbox at some.domain.tld>... Mailbox disabled for this recipient
