Well, First thing that comes to mind is to disable their account by
simply changing their password. This way, the account remains active,
but no-one can get in. Then, use the vacation software (as discussed
previously on the list) to send the relevant message.
If they want to reconnect, ask them for their password ("For your
security, mam"). They don't need to know that you never knew their
password...
Of course, there are probably better ways to do this, but I will leave
those to the guru's.
