Try this. Open up Exchange Server and click on Connections. Click on Internet Mail Service. Once this window opens up you will have about 11 choices to choose from. Click on Delivery Restrictions. In here you should be able to put in an address that you want to block. I think you need to have the address in your Address book to work properly though.

Good Luck

It did help me at some level but it didn't actually solve my problem,the person i was trying to block is not in our global address book and i can't exactly put this person's email address in there. thank you very much anyway...

Is there a difference to you if an address is actually blocked, like with a firewall, or just deleted automatically as soon as it comes in? As far as Outlook goes, you should be able to use the rules wizard to handle certain addresses. It is calledfiltering, but if an address you add to a list comes in, you have numerous choices what you want done with it. Two choices are to delete or permanently delete it.
Hope this helps.

The same as the other answer,it helped me in some level but i am dealing with people who thinks that we in the IT dept. should do everything they want us to do for as long as they get to do what they want to do. I did the Outlook filtering but if you have the settings set in to notify you as soon as incoming email comes in,it still tells you that you have an email that just came in which makes them wonder where that email is even though it has already been deleted. I will try to block the address in the firebox. thank you very much...
