Blocking an individual email address

[James Csoka]

Okay...I think I answered part of my question.  /etc/mail/access only
governs mail relaying.  Which would mean that of course, it wouldn't accept
mail from that address, but would have no problem sending mail to it.

So....any ideas on how I can simply block 1 particular email address,
without marking it as spam?

email at address.com      REJECT), and have run makemap hash
/etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access.     I tested this with my personal
email address (external to my network), and it had the effect of blocking
any email orginating from my personal email to any address at my work,
however it does not prevent me from sending emails to this address from a
work address, which is the whole point.
