MORE INFORMATION
================
To configure Exchange Server so that all of the users in an organization cannot
send SMTP e-mail messages to a specific address, create a custom recipient and
set delivery restrictions for that recipient:
1. Create an SMTP custom recipient that uses the e-mail address that you want to
prevent users from sending SMTP e-mail messages to.
2. In the custom recipient properties, click the Delivery Restrictions tab, and
then perform either one of the following steps:
- Under "Reject messages from", click List, and then either add everyone in
the local Recipients container or add a global distribution list (DL) to
the "Reject messages from" list.
- Under "Accept messages from", click List, and then add a single user to
the "Accept messages from" list.
3. Ensure that the display name for the user is the same as the SMTP address
(for example, someone@microsoft.com).
4. Click the Advanced tab, and then under "Custom recipients options", click to
select the "Hide from address book" check box.
After you perform these steps, if a user in that organization sends mail to the
SMTP address, the user receives a non-delivery report (NDR) similar to the
following:
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: test
Sent: 1/10/2000 2:46 PM
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
Someone@microsoft.com on 1/10/2000 2:46 PM
A restriction in the system prevented delivery of the message.
The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=US;a=
;p=Organization;l=Servername-000110194626Z-183
