Are you sure you need to drop all mail from .info domain? This is a very non-standard thing to do.
I am assuimg you need this in order to try and prevent SPAM, did you already look at the anti-spam feaures of SME Server, including RHBL and bayesian learning to prevent SPAM?

Other SA posts are finding similar results. A SA config would be acceptable but I hoped there would be a qpsmtpd plugin that would block tld's.

You'd have to write one. I don't think that badmailfrom allows domain wildcards.

Maybe you could use some DNS trick to do it, but writing a simple qpsmtpd plugin would probably be simpler. As would SA config.

Maybe the Email WBL contrib does this. Try it and see.
