If I had a way to do it, I wouldn't block connections with an RBL either, just to show him what he's in for. But, that's not something I really want to get into.

Would I be better off doing this on the postfix level with a header check that tests positive on every address except his few? I use the SQL whitelist function of MailWatch, so I can't whitelist wildcards for his address. Is it possible to chain rule files & modules for the "is definitely not spam" option?

Simple enough to set up, just put it in spam.whitelist.rules.

I'd also do it within your MTA because I'm twisted like that...
