I thought To: checks would work on outgoing mail, but it looks like
that's not the case.  From
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#blacklist_recipients :

blacklist_recipients

  Turns on the ability to block incoming mail for certain recipient
  usernames, hostnames, or addresses. For example, you can block
  incoming mail to user nobody, host foo.mydomain.com, or
  guest at bar.mydomain.com. These specifications are put in the access db
  as described in the Anti-Spam Configuration Control section later in
  this document.

Try posting your question to the comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup; search
the archives at http://groups.google.com/group/comp.mail.sendmail
first, though.  Someone must have wanted to do what you're trying
before.
