Sure. Several possible ways of dealing with it.

(1) Directly in an ACL for RCPT:

      deny recipients = /the/file


(2) Use verify in the ACL

      deny !verify = recipient


    and ensure the verify fails by setting up this router


      fail_router:
        driver = redirect
        allow_fail 
        data = ${lookup{$local_part@$domain}lsearch{/the/file}\
               {:fail:Unknown address}}


No doubt there are other ways as well.
