You probably don't want to block emails as they come in, since they
could addressed both to users who want it and users who don't.
User filters, conventionally, but not necessarily, .forward
might be worth considering, although I have no pointers to a web tool
for maintaining it.
This feature is sufficiently complex that it has its own spec document.
Errors can stall delivery to that user, so it is easy enough to mess up;
your help desk might have views.
