i would like to reject or block email coming from an email address before it even hits xeams before exchange

xeams does filter out from inbox but I want the person sending to think my email address is not working

Use the following method to accomplish this. However, I must warn you not to use this method for normal filtering as messages will get rejected without any trace and you will have no way to know what happened.

Steps:

  • Create a file called CustomRejection.dat in $INSTALL_DIR\config folder
  • Every line in this file will contain one rule separated by three $ signs.
  • RHS of the $ signs should contain the sender, LHS should contain recipient
  • The word ALL signifies everyone.
  • Lines starting with # signs are ignored and can be used for comments

Sample file

# This is a comment
# The following example shows how to reject every email from bad.boy@somewhere.com to 
# every recipient in your company

bad.boy@somewhere.com$$$ALL
