Any reason you're doing this at the MailScanner layer?

If you're just going to delete it, save your network the bandwidth of receiving 
it and just 550 it at the MTA layer.

For example, in sendmail you'd edit /etc/mail/access and add:
root at clientdomain.com  REJECT
mail at clientdomain.com  REJECT
uucp at clientdomain.com  REJECT
info at clientdomain.com  REJECT

Then run make in /etc/mail/ directory to rebuild access.db from the access text 
file.

Poof, no more mail to or from that address will ever be accepted by your MTA.
