Wow. Quite a lot of extras on the end of that one. ;)
If, by 'stop delivery', you mean that mail will be accepted and silently
dropped in the bitbucket, try 'man dot-qmail'. See specifically the
section on exit codes.
If, by 'stop delivery', you mean that mail will be accepted and queued
up for the queue lifetime, again see 'man dot-qmail' -- the section on
safely editing .qmail files.
