Set Message Send and Receive Restrictions on Individual Mailboxes

By default, user mailboxes are configured to accept messages from anyone. To override this behavior, you can do the following:

• Specify that only messages from the listed users, contacts, or groups be accepted.
• Specify that messages from specific users, contacts, or groups listed be rejected.
• Specify that only authenticated users—meaning users who have logged on to the Exchange system or the domain—be accepted.

You set message send and receive restrictions by completing the following steps:

1. Open the Properties dialog box for the mailbox-enabled user account by double-clicking the user name in the Exchange Management Console.
2. On the Mail Flow Settings tab, double-click Message Delivery Restrictions. You can now set message acceptance restrictions.
3. If you want to ensure that messages are accepted only from authenticated users, select the Require That All Senders Are Authenticated check box.
4. To accept messages from all e-mail addresses except those on the reject list, under Accept Messages From, select All Senders.
5. To specify that only messages from the listed users, contacts, or groups be accepted, select the Only Senders In The Following List option and then add acceptable recipients by following these steps:
   • Click Add to display the Select Recipient dialog box.
   • Select a recipient, and then click OK.Repeat as necessary.
6. To specify that no recipients should be rejected, under Reject Messages From, select No Senders.
7. To reject messages from specific recipients, under Reject Messages From, select Senders In The Following List and then add unacceptable recipients by following these steps:
   • Click Add to display the Select Recipients dialog box.
   • Select a recipient, and then click OK.Repeat as necessary.
8. Click OK.
