Nothing in the rules cited obligates a lawyer to respond to anyone who isn't their client, particularly when they have instructions to the contrary.
To comply with courtesy, civility and reasonable behavior, the note "I will not be reading or responding to any correspondence between us, on instruction of my client" would seem sufficient.
