Why not stop it in Sendmail? Set up your access file or
mailer/virtusertable to generate a "user unknown" error. Or if you want to
block it from any additional recipients, use MD and filter_recipient to
identify the blacklisted user, then discard the message.
Either approach will be more efficient than letting SpamAssassin process
the message first. All blacklist_to does is add points to the message -
and then only if the address appears in the To: or CC: lines. If it's been
sent via BCC, blacklist_to won't be able to see it.
