That's not what you said above, you said "to certain domains". Domains
sometimes have the same names as hosts, thus there is often confusion.
Recipients are rejected at SMTP time if you enable receiver_verify and
then arrange that the local parts you don't want fail to verify.

Yes. Turn on receiver_verify and set up a director such as
bounce_these_domains:
driver = smartlist
domains = some:domains
fail_verify_recipient
or some variation on that (it is off the top of my head, not tested).
