Check out this extract from the sendmail README file:
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you use:
FEATURE(`blacklist_recipients')
then you can add entries to the map for local users, hosts in your
domains, or addresses in your domain which should not receive mail:
badlocaluser@ 550 Mailbox disabled for this username
host.mydomain.com 550 That host does not accept mail
user@otherhost.mydomain.com 550 Mailbox disabled for this recipient
This would prevent a recipient of badlocaluser@mydomain.com, any
user at host.mydomain.com, and the single address user@otherhost.mydomain.com
from receiving mail. ***Please note: a local username must be now tagged
with an @ (this is consistent with the check of the sender address,
and hence it is possible to distinguish between hostnames and usernames).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This should enlighten you more on your problem.
