Description

Hi, I found out that both disabling and blocking accepts but discards the emails. In the documents the term "block" is misleading, it means to disable a specific sender. Is there a way to temporarily shut down ("block") an alias or a sender? What means that the sender receives a message that the address does not exist or is unavailable? That would be a great possibility to get rid of spam without deleting the whole address.
