Is it possible to block reply emails only to a single address but not the original emails please ? So if you send me a new email that is fine I then reply to your email I do not want a reply back to that. I would need to forward it else where. We are basically trying to automate some thing but running into problems when people reply so if I could do some thing server end that would be handy
There isn't a real distinction between a reply and a new email. Not a 100% reliable one, anyway.
Replies should have a References and/or In-Reply-To header, but many MUAs don't add this (and break threads for mail clients that do proper threading).
It's also common for the subject to start with "Re:", but there are variations such as "RES:", "AW:", and so on. And I've seen new mails with "Re:" in the subject. Maybe the user copied and pasted and didn't remove that, or since most mails have "Re:" he tought all subjects should have it.
TL;DR: There are potential ways to identify replies, but none is 100% guaranteed to work.
