Assuming you already have qmail-qfilter installed and ready to go, and
have pretty solid scripting experience (your posting record suggests a
weakness in this area) and a good understanding of how qmail-qfilter is
used, then that would probably be easier than building, installing and
mastering mailfront.

When your filtering criteria get more complicated, though, you may find
mailfront to be less of a pain to manage (unless they get so complicated
that qmail-qfilter is still the only way to go).

That's pretty straightforward:

#!/bin/bash
# WARNING - UNTESTED!
for RCPT in $QMAILRCPTS; do
  grep -q "$RCPT" /etc/blocked && exit 31
done
exit 0

Read the qmail-qfilter man page for details.
