Hi,
You have several options, depending on your needs.
You could also reject it using the fail option in /etc/aliases (see chapter
45.2 in spec.txt for details ), or you can set sender_reject for blocking
all mail from a domain or sender, or use host_reject if you don't want to
receive mail from a certain host.
See also chapter 45 in spec doc about verification of incoming mail.
Regards,
Bart van Dommelen.
