RE: Users Send Email after account disabled


Hello Arman,

Thanks for your post.

Before we go further, I would like to confirm that do you mean the disabled
user can still logon Outlook/OWA to send and receive emails? or others can
still send to this disabled users account without getting NDR letters?
Please confirm.

Based on my tests, this seems by design as I get the same results - other
domain members still can send to the disabled users account without getting
NDR letters. When the account is enabled again, the sent emails will be
seen in the Inbox when he logs in.

But what if I don't want disabled accounts to receive email? To prevent
disabled accounts from receiving any email, there is a work round that
setup Delivery Restrictions (in ADUC | user -> properties | Exchange
General tab) to:

1. Receive mail from authenticated users only: With Recipient Filtering
enabled, this will drop internet mail at the gateway or the first Exchange
server that receives inbound internet mail
2.Receive mail only from: a particular Distribution Group (use a
Distribution Group with no members).


More information, please see:

You receive a non-delivery report when you send a message to a disabled
account
