The access database defines what host(s) or IP addresses have access to the local mail server and what kind of access they have. So you cannnot use the same. You may need to use Procmail to filter how email based upon its body. Configure MTA to use procmail and add something as follows to your $HOME/.procmailrc
Code:
:0B example * /dev/null
