If what you mean is disable autodoc for all functions exported by
mailutils and used in other modules, the answer is no.  Emacs doesn't
know anything about what module a symbol belongs to: it sends a command
to Guile to get the autodoc info.  It's when running that command (which
uses Guile's reflection abilities to find the symbol's module and
associated documentation) that Guile is segfaulting (unfortunately, the
trace does not give much information).  Inserting a module blacklist at
that point would be not trivial and, moreoever, if the segfault is
happening while discovering that the given symbols belongs to mailutils,
it wouldn't work.

A way to try to get more info on the root cause (which could be a bug in
Guile) of the segafult would be to enter (geiser autodoc) and call the
functions defined there (e.g. autodoc*) with (list of) symbols from
mailutils... In a regular Geiser session one can see the commands Emacs
is sending to Guile with C-u M-x geiser-show-logs, and those same
commands will work when executed in the REPL.

HTH,
