Interesting, I had no idea there was a port to windows.

with which it just transfers all mails to it.

99% of the steps for setting up exim on linux would apply to windows
except for installation.

Assuming that the email address you want to block is blah@???

If the email is being delivered to exim via SMTP and not submitted
locally then placing the following in the rcpt acl section will block
that address.

deny   domains = example.com
    local_parts = blah
        message = This address is blocked



If its submitted locally,
create a file and place the following line into it.

blah:    :fail: This address is blocked



Then place the following router at the top of the routers section.


reject_user:
      driver = redirect
      domains = example.com
      allow_fail
      data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/path/to/above/file}}
