Hello Heath,
If you blacklist that IP, it will reject all messages but you'll still see entries in
the logs. Possibly since the rejection is for a different reason the other server
will give up but I doubt it.
What I do in situations like your is temporarily create a routing entry for the
unknown user into my own mailbox. Then I receive the message and the annoying server
goes away. I can also use the header information to mail the annoying server's
(often) annoying sysadmin and let him know that his server is configured poorly.
