blocking inbound mail to a specific address in a protected domain

Folks - Exchange 2010 lets you restrict use of internal Distribution Lists to authenticated *senders* only.  However, when an outside user replies to a message that includes the internal distribution list as well as external addresses, Exchange allows that message.

 

This leads to unwanted Reply to All scenarios occuring.

 

Can I blocked mail to ADistributionList@ourdomain.com, where ourdomain.com is a protected domain in our Fortimail configuration?

 

Running Fortimail v5.2, Build 404.

 

Thanks for any assistance, it is appreciated.  I did review the admin manual but wasn't able to find any item which appeared germane.

 

Regards - Pete
