block someone from sending to our domain

[capkirk]

we had a person um, "relieved of their responsibilities" yesterday.

they are now asking me to block them from sending emails to us from their personal email account.

I can do this from my spam software, but if someone from our company sends him an email it whitelists him, and that overides the block.

so they are asking me to block it from exchange, sending to his personal and receiving from his personal email.

can that be done?

What version of Exchange are you running?

If it's Exchange 2003, go into Exchange System Manager > Global Settings
Right Click Message Delivery and click Properties
Click the Sender Filtering tab and add the address you want to block.

Not that it will make a difference. I mean, if he wants to send your people email all he has to do is change his email address. Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, or any other disposable email account is all he needs to circumvent it.

yeah, I made that point as well. had that happen last year.
person went thru a hotmail account, then yahoo, and finally gmail. really not much you can do about that.

the sender filtering tab works, thanks for the info.
