Thanks Sean.
What i gave was just an example senario.
The expanded situation is for an isp where it would not be practical to add
a blackhole entry for each user considering that there could be maybe 100+
domains with maybe a 1000+ users. That would mean 99 999 blackhole entries.
What i need is to be able to direct incoming mail that is filtered by full
local@domain against a list of allowed full email addresses (local@domain
goes to specific user) and if it succeeds then is delivered to the specified
mailbox.
ie. joe@??? goes to localuser joe. joe@???. joe@???
is rejected. jane@??? is rejected. jane@??? is rejected.
jane@??? goes to localuser jane and so on.
In a nutshell this allows for joe@??? and joe@??? and joe@???
each to go to different localusers.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Take a look at the manual page about black hole aliases.
You should be able to use the alias user1@???::blackhole
