That's fine, your clarification is what i'd understood it as. Let me
guide you...

There are three tabs, one for Recipient, one for Sender and one for
connection. You can absolutley enter a valid external smtp address
that can get into your organisation regardless of any blocks.
I've taken the trouble of pasting the text from the help

<snip>
Block List Service Configuration Settings
Use the Block List Service Configuration Settings dialog box to
configure exceptions to your connection filter rules. Specifically you
can add an SMTP address in your organization to which users can send
messages, regardless of whether those users' IP addresses appear on a
block list. Exceptions apply to all filter rules. This is useful if
you want legitimate organizations to be able to contact the postmaster
account to communicate with your administrators. For example, suppose
a legitimate company has a server inadvertently configured to allow
open relaying; therefore, e-mail sent from this company to any of your
users would be blocked. If you add your postmaster's SMTP address as
an exception, then the company's administrator can e-mail your
postmaster account to inform you of the company's situation or find
out why they cannot send e-mail to your organization.
</snip>

You find that little lot at:
ESM > Global Settings Properties > Connection Filtering > Accept
button or the exception button, depending on wheter you have are using
an RBL
Enter the good smtp address in there.

Hope I've clarified sufficiently.
