Outlook 2003 Rules - Do not download email from a specific person

A member of staff is being pestered by someone.  She wants emails sent from him to be bounced back to him.  The ISP (Demon) does not offer anything that can be done at their end.  However, they showed me how I could create a rule in Outlook Express that will ensure that no emails are downloaded from a certain email address.  They told me that after a few days of sitting on their mail server it will then be bounced back.

Unfortunately, she uses Outlook and I cannot see the same rule available.  Can anyone tell me if it exists and how to do it?

Thank you

Not exactly the same, and it will not generate the bounce but what about ......?

Apply this rule after the message arrives,
from XXX,
permanently delete it.

Only other option would be to create a custom script to duplicate the OE rule, but I'm not sure if that's possible givne the way Outlook normally behaves.
