Thank you.

Yes, but not in a system filter, which is a one-off thing for the whole
message. Your requirement is to handle certain recipients specially
under certain circumstances, and that is a directing task. Try something
like this:
blackhole_transport:
driver = appendfile
file = /dev/null
user = nobody
...
blackhole_director:
driver = smartuser
transport = blackhole_transport
senders = ^.*x\.dom
domains = ^.*y\.dom
