How do I reject mail aimed at local users such as root and uucp?

Hi All,
My server is being hit really hard with spam. Most of the stuff I'm
now finding filling up my queue is aimed at local users such as:-
root@xxxxxxxxxxxx
uucp@xxxxxxxxxxxx
mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx

My server has several domains, so the spam is hitting me hard:-
root@xxxxxxxxxxx
root@xxxxxxxxxxx
root@xxxxxxxxxxx
and so on...

I've tried updating my aliases file and the mail for uucp@ and mail@
is no longer going to the root inbox, but it is still coming in and
now just going to uucp and mail mail boxes respectively.

I've searched but cannot figure out how I can get sendmail to reject
mail aimed at these users so that they never get into my queue.

Please help.
