SUMMARY
This step-by-step article describes how to configure connectors to reject messages from specific senders in Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 2003. You can use delivery restrictions to reject messages before transferring them over the connector. You can reject messages based on the sender's e-mail address. By default, no delivery restrictions are set; therefore, connectors accept all messages from all senders.
