How do I excude addresses to prevent spam?

[ecoates]

We just moved to Exchange 2000 and it's all quite new. How can I exclude one particular email address from spamming our companies mail boxes?
I know how to do it in Outlook but it would be great to exclude right at the exchange 2000 server.

2- Old messages are not automatically removed from the archive. Consequently, archive files can occupy a very large disk space. Be sure to include the removal of old archive files in your maintenance plans. Dan
