I want to be able to reject emails from a specific email address and have it
returned to sender, not sent to Junk E-mail.

Not built into the product.

I'd first look at any options your ISP might provide you. If there isn't,
you could dig through http://www.slipstick.com and see if there are any add-ons.
If you're comfortable with code, you could build your own working with http://www.outlookcode.com
for assistance.

However, serverside is the best option. If it's client side it only happens
when you download mail and, if I sent someone a message and didn't get a
failed message for 6 hours (because your machine was off), I wouldn't assume
it was because the address didn't actually exist.
 
Returning mail merely confirms your mail address, you can create a rule to
perminently delete mail from a specific sender

Unfortunately, there is no way to do what you want with an email client.
Once your mail host has accepted email for delivery, it is yours; to do with
as you please. The only place where rejection can take place is on the
gateway (MX) server; and, even then, only during the SMTP transaction.
