MailMate uses your Sent Messages mailbox to autocomplete messages. This 
means that you can move emails sent to these addresses such that 
MailMate does not use them for autocompletion. If you want to disable 
the feature completely (and only use Contacts for completions) then 
there is a [hidden 
preference](http://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences#sending) 
which can be used to make MailMate use a different mailbox for 
completions.

It's a frequent request and I'm still considering how I can offer an 
option to “blacklist” an email address.

It's probably possible to emulate a system to do this yourself:

1. Create a tag, for example, named “Invalid”.
2. Create a smart mailbox based on “Sent Messages” excluding 
messages marked “Invalid”.
3. Use the hidden preference mentioned above to point to this mailbox 
instead of Sent Messages.

This requires all messages sent to the invalid address to be marked as 
Invalid. (It is probably also possible to improve that, but it'll make 
the above more complicated.)
