MS Exchange: How To Disable Delivery Of Email To Account

It's easy enough to add and then remove accounts on the Active Directory, but spells disaster when it comes to deleting accounts that are associated with encrypted files and licensed software.

Keeping an account active means keeping the email address active also. After a while, the email quota fills up and the Exchange server begins to bog down.

Solution:
To maintain an account while ensuring that no emails are delivered, apply DELIVERY RESTRICTIONS.

1. On the MS Exchange Server, start the Exchange Management Console.
2. Find the account.
3. Double click on the account to open its properties (or right click then select "Properties").
4. On the "Mail Flow Settings" tab click Message Delivery Restrictions.
5. On "Accept messages from" select "Only senders in the following list:"
6. Click on "+Add" then find and select the same account as the one on step 2.
