Correct. These accounts are deleted.
So you don't want to have NDR access?
Huh? Please educate me. I don't understand.
I edited, bad writing on Iphone but my question was, so you don't want any NDR messages sent back?
I really don't care, they get moved to my junk email folder and will be deleted within 30 days. My boss gets them too and was wondering if there was a way to manage them, such as deletion at the server.
If you are going to delete them at the server, best to not get them at all.

I am missing something here, usually if you have old email addresses deleted they don't get sent to you they get bounced back to the sender. What am I missing?

From what I can tell, these are newsletters from automated systems. Some were internal and the senders lists from those systems have been resolved. The emails that we are getting now are like alerts from facebook or other alerts that we have no care for and the person that was receiving them hasn't been here for a couple of years at least.

But why are you getting them? We are still missing the basics. If a person left and their email is gone, you would not get an email from any system about them getting sent things.

I guess the real question is... why did you tighten security to a point that you are unhappy with the results? It's not "security" to send you all these useless emails. So just undo that requirement.

So you have active aliases or fowarding for them so you get them? Otherwise if there are gone they will not even get to anyone.

That's probably going to be the plan. Boss tightened up security. I'll investigate to see about turning that one off.

That specific one isn't security related. If anything, spamming you with garbage will cause you to ignore real problems.

FFS @NerdyDad answer the damned question
How are you getting email for accounts that do not exist.
This is not possible and not something that you can get from a security setting.
You are spinning in fucking circles here because you have not answered a basic question.

So I got Fox'd.
Let me draw you a picture.
Employee is on-boarded with the company and is assigned an email address. Employee begins work and uses email address for (I hope) signing up for industry newsletters, email alerts, etc. Something happens to said employee and they leave. Email account stays open and emails are forwarded to superior until superior can notify other parties of employee's departure. Then said superior tells us to pull the license from O365, which deletes the now ex-employees account. Said superior fails to unsubscribe from email lists and other alerts and we get alerts from the Exchange Online server saying that it has an email going to an address but doesn't have an account to match that address.
Question is: How do I get the notification emails to stop?
I suppose I could create aliases for all of these addresses to my account and slowly unsubscribe from each one.

This is the part we don't understand. This is not normal.

Re-create the user account, assign an Office 365 license for the interim. Perform password resets under the ex-users account and opt-out of everything.
Revoke the Office 365 license once done.

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.

That will not work, as the issue is that he is receiving the catch-all.

He is getting NDR notifications on the admin side. There is a report somewhere in there that shows bounced emails.

He needs to login to the services that are assigned to the ex-user as that user, and disable the account notifications.

But none should be assigned to them, they don't exist.

Scott, just sent you one of the reports that I have been receiving for better clarification.

They don't exist in Office 365. The user account still exist on "stupidemailalerts.com" or whatever service they have signed up for.
Closing the account in office 365 doesn't remove the user from the things they opt'd/signed up for when they did exist.
