Why you are worry someone is a spammer or you dont want hurt your feeling if you dont want them to send non stop email then tell them that but if it block then it block simply to that and they will never know.

Be aware... if you use your email program to automatically send responses, you could be inadvertently replying to spam emails. Doing so just lets the spammers know yours is a "live" address, and the spam will increase (they'll pass your email address around to more spam senders).
For the same reason, NEVER hit the "unsubscribe" link or button in a spam email. It won't unsubscribe you, it'll only increase the spam you get.
If you get deceptive spam, including email phishing for your information, forward it to spam@uce.gov. Don't change anything about the email before sending, just forward it and that's all.
You also may report phishing email to reportphishing@antiphishing.org. The Anti-Phishing Working Group, a consortium of ISPs, security vendors, financial institutions and law enforcement agencies, uses these reports to fight phishing.

In MS outlook (or outlook express) you can create a message rule to automatically reply to people on your "list" that says exactly what you want it to say, and delete the message, without your ever having to see that anything has happened.
Select tools \ message rules... \ Mail... and fill out the form. If you add them to the blocked senders, it will just delete the item, but the sender won't get the notice that they are blocked. That is why you need to create a more robust rule.

Usually it says "that person is not available" or "the email you are trying to reach has a full mailbox", I never seen a message saying this email is blocked from you.

There are people who can answer "I don't Know" I have said it many times but at the same time some people are as you say arrogant. For me If I don't know I will say that I will try to find out but at the same time there are things as a Christian that I just take by faith and may NEVER know in this world and if my faith is wrong may never know.

*Sometimes* it could depend on the ISP and upon what mechanism you use to block it. For example, a friend of ours used (or actually, defaulted to) Earthlink's spam-blocker for blocking unknown emails. We got an email inviting us to join our friend's "allowed" sender list. We in turn joined. Sometimes, the sender gets no notification, at all. Sometimes, the sender gets a reject email (like, say, postmaster@daemon: your send to so-and-so@whatever.com: delivery failed for this reason: addressee rejected your email) ...so whatever

That depends entirely on what that person uses for an email server

all it will do is return their e-mails along with a notice that says that they encountered a critical error while trying to deliver the mail. this will usually scare the hell out of most people and they will stop trying so that they don't mess up their computer.
