Yes, the comment I quoted below.  He is suggesting how you can deal with this 
problematic user you want to "eliminate spam coming in from".

Re: Beginner Setting up Spam Assassin

[Loren Wilton]

SpamAssassin cannot block or eliminate spam. It does not have the facilities to 
do that. SA can only score potential spam. 

Whatever method you used to glue SA into your mail path needs to parse the 
score SA assigned in the returned mail, and do whatever routing it thinks is 
appropriate. 

We do not know what glue you are using to put SA into your mail path, so it is 
hard to give suggestions on how to set that unknown software up. With more 
details of your setup we may be able to help.

We can suggest rules to assign a score to mail if it comes from a particular 
account. But something other than SA will then have to deal with that score and 
do the routing.

Can you ban this user in whatever your equivalent of the access file is so 
instead of putting the messages into a spam folder, you reject messages from 
that address at delivery time (SMTP)?

You can create rule something like this

header  BLOCK_EMAIL   From:addr =~ /user\@domain\.com/
describe BLOCK_EMAIL   Block email
scoreBLOCK_EMAIL5.00
