Sorry, I meant ~alias/.qmail-trashcan-default, of course.  8-)

virtualdomains should do it for you.  Something like:

unwanted.dom.ain:trashcan

where ~alias/.qmail-trashcan contains:

Use control/virtualdomains. Say aol.com and [EMAIL PROTECTED] ask you to
not send them mail. Add the following to virtualdomains:

  aol.com:alias-devnull
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-devnull

Then create ~alias/.qmail-devnull-default containing:

  #

If you want to throw the mail away, or:

  |echo "mail to this address is blocked locally by request"; exit 100

If you want to generate a bounce message.

Once again, these messages are not being received via qmail-smtpd.  They are
injected locally, so as far as I can tell, those patches will not help me.

That's why I'm thinking qmail-send level.

Try the "badrcptto" patch or the "spamcontrol" patch, either of which 
will check against the envelope recipient and refuse to accept the 
message. Alternately, nullroute all of the MX's for the domain in 
question.
