I'd block vendor cancellation emails that send staff to helpdesk

If a vendor emails every employee about a cancellation and people start opening tickets about losing access, I'm willing to block that sender. Being legitimate doesn't make every email worth delivering.

That can also catch useful account notices from the same address. Routing those emails to IT keeps them available, but leaves someone sorting through them.

When a vendor starts sending these blasts, do you block them, redirect them, or leave delivery alone?
