Not sure if this is what you want, but you can add addresses/hosts to
reject in /etc/mail/sendmail.rej [or wherever you specify].
Just add the following to sendmail.cf
--
# reject list of originating email addresses and domains
FR/etc/mail/sendmail.rej
--
sendmail.rej just contains addresses/hosts that you wanna reject.
--
user@somewhere.com
baddomain.com
--
etc.
