How to disable a mail to a user before scanning

[S Mohan]

I thought this happens at delivery and not receipt end - virtusertable
lookup. Am I wrong? If so, the mail will be scanned and then the local
delivery agent would bounce it.

Why not add an entry to /etc/mail/virtusertable and /dev/null it?

I receive about 50 messages to a unknown user on my SMTP server and I as a
postmaster receive all the messages back I tried the rules

# more spam.actions.rules
To:     webmaster at www.dpi.state.wi.us    delete


# more spam.blacklist.rules
#To:     /^$/    yes
To:     webmaster at www.dpi.state.wi.us   yes

But I still keep getting it
