I really need to do more than just add them to my spam list. Can I put in
their email address somehow so that if they send me email it will trigger an
automated response that there email is rejected? Something along those lines.
Sort of like blocking callers. Your help is greatly appreciated. I hate going
to my junk mail box to find stray msg's only to find this scarey persons
emails there.

No. Technically speaking, rejection can only be done during the SMTP
transaction. Once the gateway SMTP email server has accepted email for
delivery, the message has been delivered; and the savvy sender will know a
fake reject from the real thing. Just you your filters to dump it.

It's a waste of time for real spammers - you'll end up with a mailbox full
of NDRs

Assuming you have web access to your ISP mail, look in there to see if they
have any filters that will prevent you actually receiving in Outlook

Any reject option, if it were available, merely confirms your mail address
as valid

Oh, any you believed the spammer were using their own e-mail address?
Thanks for the laughs.
