While it is possible to prevent a user from sending mail at all, it  
is not easily possible to permit them to send mail, but only to a  
limited set of domains, using the normal mechanisms.  While you can  
write your own LOCAL_RULESETS to accomplish the goal, anyone with a  
smidgen of clue could work around such a restriction by forging email  
as if it came from another user.

In other words, you're describing a social problem which should be  
enforced by getting the user to agree to use email only for  
legitimate purposes, and by monitoring their usage by checking the  
mail logfiles to ensure they don't abuse email by sending to  
inappropriate domains.
