Hello,
The best way to tackle this is to setup procmail , thre will be a univrsal
procmailrc in /etc where you can write procmail rules and where you can
put filters for the mail rules , only confirm if your sendmail has been
compiled with procmail part of it( it normally is ) 
then mails from some address you ddont want to see you can justt > /dev/null
Read man procmailrc and man procmailex , this will work
