well I have configured sendmail so that it only relays from the IP addresses that I have defined in the access file. that is not at a user level but at a machine level I dunno if this is of any help.

If you just want to block the user temporarily, simply add this line to the `/etc/mail/access' file -

user DENY (or) user@domain DENY

and run makemap - # makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access
