Exchange 2007 block all incoming email to a specific user

I need to set up an email account to be used for a mailing list. So it needs to be able to send email but they don't want anyone to be able to reply or send to it directly. I was doing some checking and it seems like I could use a Transport Rule for this but I've never done one of those and if I'm not careful I might wind up blocking everyone’s incoming email. While poking around EMC, I also saw an option under Mail Flow Settings for Message Delivery Restrictions. Perhaps that would be easier? I could change the accept messages from all senders to either an internal group or even just the administrator. What would be my best option for accomplishing this?

Okay, if I do the hub transport rule. I select “sent to people” and specify the user “newsletter” and then for the action select “silently drop the message” so nothing goes into the mailbox? That sound right to you?
