How do I prevent exchange server 2013 from routing email from other exchange servers?

I understand that in exchange 2013 a mailbox server is also a hub transport server. I am building three exchange 2013 mailbox servers without the CAS role. I am going to configure an IP-less DAG using these three servers. I have other exchange 2013 and exchange 2007 servers in my environment. How do I prevent these three new servers from routing email from mailboxes in other servers?

example: I have servers 1 thru 10. I am building servers 11,12 and 13. How do I prevent email from a mailbox on server 1 sent to a mailbox on server 10 from routing through servers 11,12 or 13? Is this possible?

thank you

I am not too sure what you are trying to accomplish here but all you should have to do is stop/disable the Mailbox Transport Delivery and Transport Submission Services.

I guess you could also try setting up firewall rules on these servers as well but the easiest way would be to disable those services I mentioned.

I don't want these serves used to relay email from other servers in my organization. When I built one, I saw email queueing where the source and target were not this server. I have turned off the transport service, but once I begin adding mailboxes to it I'll need to turn the transport service back on so those mailboxes can send and receive.
I don't want these servers to act as relays for other servers.

The other servers in the site are mailbox\hub transport as well and I have confirmed that they will pickup email to and from mailboxes on the servers where I have disabled the transport service.

thank you for you help.
