Hello,
A user has left and our central authentication (MS ADO via PAM/LDAP)
his disabled his login
so he cannot collect any incoming e-mail, however until they cancel

disable) the account, the e-mail address is still valid. The accounts on
the Linux
system simply track those on MS ADO via scripts using LDAP etc.,.,
Is there a simple way a current account can be made inoperative so
that mail
to the account receives a no-such user response.
[I'm also thinking about the possibility of a disgruntled former
employee indulging
in a quiet spot of mail bombing.]
If you're requiring SMTP authentication (and you should be) then he
shouldn't be able to send email from his old address, the account should
only be able to receive mail (since incoming SMTP only checks for an
accounts existence, it doesn't try to authenticate). If you want to
completely disable the account you'll need to modify whatever attribute
Courier does email lookups against. Normally in LDAP this is the mail
attribute so part of your account disable proces could be to change the ldap
mail attribute to blank or disabled or whatever.
