Try this:
# echo '#' > ~alias/.qmail-baddomain-default
# echo portal.mdr.net:alias-baddomain >> /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
# echo portal.mdr.net:127.0.0.1 >> /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
Then run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-tcpok, and send qmail-send a HUP and an ALRM. All
your queued mail for portal.mdr.net will get delivered by SMTP to 127.0.0.1 and
will be handled by ~alias/.qmail-baddomain-default. The single # in that file
will cause all the mail to be discarded.
