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

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}}
