To reject a recipient, do a return ('REJECT', 'because we do not like you');

See the documentation - man mimedefang-filter
filter_recipient must return a two-to-five element list whose interpretation is the same as for filter_relay and filter_sender.
...
($code, $msg, $smtp_code, $smtp_dsn, $delay).  $msg speci­fies  the  text  message  to  use for the SMTP reply.  If $smtp_code and $smtp_dsn are  supplied,  they  become  the SMTP numerical reply code and the enhanced status delivery code (DSN code).   If  they  are  not  supplied,  sensible defaults  are  used.  $delay specifies a delay in seconds; the C milter code will sleep  for  $delay  seconds  before returning the reply to Sendmail.  $delay defaults to zero.

 sub filter_recipient {
            my ($recipient, $sender, $ip, $hostname, $first, $helo,
                   $rcpt_mailer, $rcpt_host, $rcpt_addr) = @_;
            if ($sender =~ /^<?spammer\@badguy\.com>?$/i) {
                 if ($recipient =~ /^<?postmaster\@mydomain\.com>?$/i) {
                      return ('CONTINUE', "ok");
                 }
                 return ('REJECT', 'Sorry; spammer at badguy.com is blacklisted.');
            }
            return ('CONTINUE', "ok");
       }
