Reject policy for all email that are not a active user
Is there a policy or rule that reject all inbound email that are send to not active users. As a dynamic rule / policy. Or a way to allow emails to active users and the rest reject. It could be a s...
It depends on your definition of "not active". Not logging on for X days? Not sending for X days? Not on an internal list for your organisation (payroll, building access, anything?)
That activity or lack of activity feeds a static Azure group, and you reject, drop or quarantine messages to that group as per your requirement. I would use a mail flow rule but there might even be simpler solutions involving the group and mailbox permissions. If your user maintenance procedure is defining inactivity, assigning a private primary address and removing all the publicly deliverable aliases and distribution group memberships also shuts the mailbox down without removing the content. Beware of using an exemption (block all except to active users) as you will have fun with BCC or groups, depending on how the expansion works out.

Active users are all users in the domein that are enabled
and / or all users that have a active office licence
or you can make a option like all emails send to a non existing user can be droppedfor example....
email address removed for privacy reasons is a active user and continu true the rest of the email checks
email address removed for privacy reasons is not excist user and can be dropped directly
