To avoid moving them you could create a blacklist system as follows:

* Introduce a new tag, e.g., named BlackListed.
* Create a smart mailbox based on Sent Messages which excludes any 
messages with the BlackListed tag.
* Use this smart mailbox for completions (see its UUID in 
`Mailboxes.plist`).

It requires blacklisting all messages sent to the address, but they are 
easily found by clicking the To header. (I think it would also be 
possible to create a smart mailbox which would exclude all messages to 
an address if just one message to the address is blacklisted.)

If I created a GUI feature for blacklisting individual recipients then 
it would internally do something like the above.
