I don't know if recent versions of SpamAssassin have changed but it 
used to be a very strong philosophical view in the SA camp that it 
would never reject mail.  If that view is still held you'll have to 
add on a milter or other mechanism to reject mail based on SA's 
score.

Sendmail can also be set up to reject all mail addresses not 
included in a whitelist.  One method uses the "access" file by 
first rejecting all mail for a domain and then listing the 
execeptions:

exDomain.com             REJECT
 
 validUser1 at exDomain.com      OK
 validUser2 at exDomain.com      OK

I have also seen examples of the virtual user table used in a 
similar fashion.
