If you want to bounce a specific local part use e.g.
-----------
idontwantyou: :fail: invalid address
-----------
in the aliasfile for this domain. Check spec.txt for :blackhole: and
:defer:.
Imho catchall accounts are next to useless today, the mailbox will
quickly fill up with spam addressed to bill, joe or
antonio@???, because spammers just try combinations of
valid-domain and frquently used local_part. Additionally message-ids
like E19rXg4-0001BF-A0@??? end up in their databases. I've
ended up keeping a list of allowed local parts instead.
