No. What you want is a firewall; then you can configure it to drop
traffic from sites you don't like (and thus completely ignore them).
Because of the way that Xitami works it has to accept the connection to
find out who is at the other end, and at that point it'd be very rude to
just hang up on them, so it sends a HTTP-style response back.
