Deny Email to a Specific Recipient
You can define a list of recipient user addresses whose incoming email will always be
denied, regardless of email filtering. For example, you can designate that emails received
to an ex-employee’s user account are always denied. Email received for all alias email
addresses for the designated user account is also included in the Recipient Shield
processing.
You can add individual addresses one a time or you can add them with a batch file. See
Add Allow, Deny, or Recipient Shield Addresses with a Batch File
