I am not worried about people sending to the single user. I am
worried about people sending to that group since it is a support
address. The emails that are sent to that address are the "The sky is
falling" type.

I could create a user account and change the email to point to that
box. Then set up a OOF for that account. That might be the easiest way

Except for those that have the address in their "Contacts" folser, or
those that use the Offline Address Book and haven't shychronized your
change, or those that pull up an email from "Sent Items" and resend it
after modifying the contents, or . . .

You're just asking for helpdesk calls doing what you're proposing.
