He can't stop these notifications, he can only actively go and close out the services that ex-employees have signed up for to stop receiving these.
Why can't he stop them? None of the rest of us have these issues.
Because Microsoft likes to provide reports that piss off sane people.
But other MS customers don't get this.
Or they ignore it, I know I used to get them all of the time.
You shouldn't.
I know, I quickly created a rule to just delete these, and later forced the MSP in charge of the O365 setup to correct this.

I suppose I could create aliases for all of these addresses to my account and slowly unsubscribe from each one.
You should not be receiving any notification about this. How are these getting to you in the first place? The rest of us do this every day and don't get these emails. What if they were emails to random accounts that had never existed at all? We get that millions of times a day, but don't see them as they never get sent to people.
He is getting NDR notifications on the admin side. There is a report somewhere in there that shows bounced emails.
He is not getting NDR. A NDR is something you receive from your email server when it fails to send and email. Typically, with a reason code from the destinaiton mail server.
He is getting inbound unknown account status emails. This is totally different.

The mindset for it was "well what if someone wants to apply for a job posting and <decides to type in the email address and screws it>"
That is why they wanted to monitor all inbound email

Wrong answer. That is not solving anything. That is only making it not visible.

I don't care about these NDR reports. My boss does. They go right to my junk folder for some reason. I check my junk folder to make sure nothing important goes in there. Otherwise, I ignore it.

The wrong answer was monitoring all inbound email for addresses unknown. Me making the issue not visible to me was all I needed as this wasn't my circus.

My boss does.
So until you can show us what you are talking about, please answer this...
Why does he? As I illustrated in a prior post anyone can spam anything all day long. Why does he care about these bad accounts?

Because he has an IT Hat to wear. . . and wants to care. . .

Yes, and arent these reports detailing hundreds or thousands of bad email addresses/day? Seems like they would be. If i received this report it would have tens of thousands of bad address bounce messages every single day.
In a large org i imagine it would be many millions. -

That's insanity, and not normal. No one does that.

It's not an IT thing, though.

Because he wants to waste money by not doing his job and spending hours poring over useless reports?
I accept that interpretation.
