Yes there is.  Dave Platt pointed me to the solution:

I was thinking that _any_ EXITCODE from rcptfilter other than 0 or 99
returned a 5xx error, however apparently this isn't the case.  The above
code quotes the echoed string directly to the SMTP dialog without prefixing
any other error code, so whatever the number is at the beginning of this
string will be the error returned by the SMTP session.

Sam, you're working too hard!  You're trying to do the work of a whole
development team <grin!>.  This has actually been possible for quite a
while.  In submit.C, function getrcpts(...):

I interpreted your initial question as asking whether a specific _sender_ address can be handled in this manner.
