Ever had request to block an e-mail address? We had one from a customer last week so we decided to use Transport rules in exchange 2007.

These work in the same sort of way that Rules do in Outlook but on a global level.

We setup a transport rule to send a rejection back to the sender, you can either leave the standard message (see Below) or you change the rejection message and error code if you wish.

You can setup transport rules through the Exchange Management console, in organization configuration, under Hub Transport go to the Transport Rules Tab and select ‘New Transport Rule’ down the right hand side.

Example of the rejection message -

You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator.

<Domain.local #5.7.1 smtp;550 5.7.1 Delivery not authorized, message refused>
