You should be able to create a '.qmail-user-extension101' file in the directory for that user's domain to specify special handling for the problem address. The contents of the file should be: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete (there should be no whitespace before the leading '|'; I indented it here to make it easier to read). Make sure the file, like other '.qmail' files, is owned by (and readable by) 'vpopmail:vchkpw'. This won't reject mail, but it will silently delete any mail sent to it, which is probably what you want. If you want to be sure messages to that address never even get into your delivery queue, take a look at spamdyke's documentation on rejecting recipients: https://www.spamdyke.org/documentation/README.html#REJECTING_RECIPIENTS You'll probably want to test whichever solution you choose with test addresses before putting the fix in place for your user. I'm not familiar with the state of qmailtoaster GUIs currently, but if you expect to need this frequently then it ought to be easy enough to write a shell script to let you do it efficiently from the command-line.
