You could also make use of a custom global mail filter that can reject
mail during the SMTP dialog based on whatever criteria you desire.  Do a
"man courierfilter" for details.

You can check out Julian Mehnle's implementation of this, which
automates a lot of the complexities of building global courier filters
and lets you write your own filtering rules in Perl:

Or if you prefer, Gordon Messmer wrote a similar global filter package
which lets you write your filtering rules in Python:
