   Hi there

   I need to do the following :

   - lock a mailbox (without deleting it or the mail contained in it)
   - if a user tries to access a mailbox locked like this all they get back
   when trying to collect mail is a preset 'call support to re-enable this
   mailbox'.

   Suggestions anyone ?

The "big hammer" would be to chown and/or chmod it away from the user,
depending on whether they had shell access.  The message seen by the
user might be confusing, but the technique is guaranteed to work for all
MUAs.  ;-}  Unfortunately, this would also bottle up deliveries, though
qmail would keep trying for a while.
