1) Popper is the wrong tool for this.
2) This *can* be very easily done with procmail, possibly depending on
how literally you meant the term "block." If you have procmail
installed on your server, you could give this user a .procmailrc file
which uses a pattern-match rule to throw away (delete) any incoming
mail not originating from your server, before it's delivered. If you
want it to actually block email in the sense of refusing email delivery
from outside your server, that's more complicated, and whether it's
even possible depends on what you're using for your mail transport
(sendmail, etc.).
