How to close (expire) account?

[Hanasaki JiJi]

Below is a response to this question for the Exim.org smtp server. How can this be done on the James server? Any comparison of features between exim and james?

With Exim 3.3x, what's the right and proper way to "close" a mail account

I want can be stimulated (more or less) by using the below exim filter as
.forward, but I'm looking for a simpler/more general/more correct way.

# Exim filter

seen mail from "Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon@$domain>" subject
"Mail Delivery failed: Account expired" text "The following message was
not delivered, as account \"$local_part\" has expired" return message

Maybe with a director like this one

closed_accounts:
driver = forwardfile
local_parts = /etc/exim/expired_users
allow_fail
data = :fail: User $local_part has expired

I'm not very fimilar with exim3 anymore, but this should give you at
least a starting point :)
