you are looking for ":fail:".

You could use a redirect router with "data = :fail: for some reason", but
I'd rather use the ACLs for such things:

acl_check_rcpt:

 deny
    domains = +local_domains
    local_parts = CFGDIR/local_only
    ! hosts = :
    message = No external mail to these recipients
...



With CFGDIR/local_only containing the restricted accounts.
