Is the contact sitting at your computer or is he/she a part of your addressbook

Might need to give us more details as to what you're wanting to know.

Hmm, think you can mark email address as spam and at least you won't receive in your inbox. I have something similar on mine.

You could also just set a filter to have all emails from that specific person go into a specific folder. That way, you don't miss anything from them you may want to read, and you don't have to worry about unblocking them in the future. Just check their folder every once and a while.

Look at the Rules Wizard in order to do that.

Here are the directions:

The Rules Wizard, or Message Rules as it is called in Outlook Express, is located under the Tools Menu. To start the Rules Wizard for e-mail tasks, do the following:
1.) Click on the Tools Menu on the menu bar.
2.) Click on Message Rules, and then select Mail…
At this point, a New Mail Rule window will appear. Here you will see three fields: 1.) Select Conditions for your rule with a list of conditions with checkboxes next to them, 2.) Select Actions for your rule with a list of actions to take with checkboxes next to them, 3.) Rule Description, and 4.) Name of the rule you are creating.

Hope that helps!
