In the main (top) section of your config file:

     acl_smtp_connect = acl_check_connect

Then in the ACL section (after "begin acl"):

     deny message = locally blacklisted host
          hosts   = ${if exists {/etc/mail/blacklist-hosts} \
                         {/etc/mail/blacklist-hosts}{}}

You would put the hosts -- either single IP addresses, or subnet/mask
(CIDR) notation, or address/name wildcard notation -- in that file.  For
instance:
        *.hotmail.com
        24.0.0.0/8
        24.4.199.45
