If that is what he wanted, I can't help him. It is pointless to try
(yes, TRY) and stop people from sending emails to a particular place.
Especially in these days of availability of webmail like Yahoo and
Hotmail and such.
It is stupid to try and stop these emails because:
1. People can easily circumvent it by using a Hotmail or Yahoo mail.
2. A user can easily read the SMTP RFC and telnet into port 25 of the MX
server for the domain he is supposedly prevented from sending a mail to
and talk the protocol.
3. A user can easily install a Real Operating system on their box and
configure their local MTA to not even talk to your network-wide MTA.
Their MTA will simply send the email directly to the destination
bypassing the stupid controls in place.
