I'm told that the anti-spam capabilities in 2.2.8's Sendmail
configuration don't allow for blocking on individual e-mail addresses.

If nobody else shouts this uncomfirmed statement down, you have a few
options:

1) Upgrade to the 3.x line of FreeBSD. :-)
2) Hunt around www.sendmail.org and see if there isn't an additional
   package you can add for your fairly old version of Sendmail.
3) Install Postfix, Exim or a newer version of Sendmail, all of which
   have some pretty wicked anti-Spam stuff.

Option 2 is probably your cheapest bet, assuming time is money. :-)

Hope that helps.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
