Qmail-Scanner can do what you want - but it is intended for bigger/more
general things than blocking Emails with a certain From: header/etc...
There are already other anti-spam patches referred to on www.qmail.org that
can do what you want - with much less overhead that perl-based solutions
like Qmail-Scanner.
However, if you think you may soon want more than just header blocks - e.g.
header regex matching, attachment blocking and anti-virus scanning, then
Qmail-Scanner may be more for you..
