I just can tell that with the newest version of qmail-smtpd it does work.
qmail/control> cat badrcptto 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

telnet diehard.n-r-g.com 110
220 diehard.n-r-g.com ESMTP
helo dude  
250 diehard.n-r-g.com
mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 ok
rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
553 sorry, mail to that recipient is not accepted (#5.7.1)
quit

It is just so that in the last few weeks a lot has changed in
qmail-smtpd.c and the badrcptto was no exception.

Just two tips:
1. check the name of the ~control file, is it badrcptto (I once did a typo
in one of those files and I took quite long to realize the error).
2. if you are sending form a relay client (RELAYCLIENT set) no badrcptto
check is done.
