You can do this using the prohibition_message mechanism (spec section
41.7), which avoids having to use a director, and which therefore
doesn't require you to let the message into your host at all. Something
like
prohibition_message = "${if eq {$prohibition_reason}{sender_reject_recipients}\
{${lookup{$sender_address}lsearch{/some/file}{$value}}}{}}"
Vertical bar is treated as a line separator in prohibition texts.
If you *do* want to do it with a director, then you have to set up an
aliasfile director with entries of the form
blah@???: :fail: message
but this approach will result in a bounce message being created to send
to the sender rather than a rejection in the SMTP dialogue, and if you
want to have newlines in the message, you will have to use a DBM or
some other search type that is not lsearch, because you can't have
newlines in text looked up by lsearch.
