I see it as my responsibility as I.T. and network administrator to respond to questionable requests and object when I disagree.

If they only need to receive email, the forward does that while "restricting them to only email access" as requested. :) You can also always go the route of restricting logins to a specific machine using the "Log On To" setting in AD and just pick a bogus machine name so that it doesn't exist. I don't believe that would stop them from accessing share data if they tried to map shares however. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

If there is some reason this person might legitimately need to continue receiving these emails, I'd create a new contact and just forward email to whatever external address they choose rather than actively allowing them to continue full send/receive functionality.
