Actually if you have SP1 installed you have routing restrictions available.

Goto SITE->Configuration->Connections->Internet Mail Services, properties, Connections page, in the Section 'Accept Connections', click on the 'Message Filtering' button click add, type in the email address including domain name, to block specific addresses or just the domain name to block all email from that domain.

Hope this helps.

Yes you can and it is easily configured. Run the Exchange Admin and look into the Configuration-IMS. In the Connection tab, click on the Message Filtering. You can click Add to add the e-mail addresses that you wants to block e.g. user@hotmail.com
If you want to block all users from a particular domain, you can enter e.g @hotmail.com Next, check the box to have the mail deleted instead of send in to the turf. Once this is done, go to the services in the Exchange Server and Stop and Restart the IMS services. The changes you've made will not take effect until this is done.
