Out of curiosity, why are you trying so hard to avoid using the "normal" 
relay mechanisms?

To answer your question: yes, there are a couple of ways that you can 
prevent a user from receiving mail.  You could label that address a 
spamtrap in 'bofh'.  (Actually, you should probably have just one 
spamtrap, and alias all of the accounts which you don't want to receive 
mail to that account.  That usually includes local users like 'apache'.) 
  You could also use maildrop filters (see maildropfilter(7)) in that 
account's home directory to refuse mail from all senders.
