I have reciently inherited a system with qmail and I am not totally
familiar with every aspect message delivery. I would like to stop the
delivery of email to a single user. Is there a way to do this? I
thought I could put /dev/null in the users .forward but all messages get
delivered to postmaster saying that the message was undeliverable. I
want to do this becuase the user doesn't use the account for email (just
for login and computations) and their mail box is filling up and taking
up to much space. I don't have the option of putting qmail on another
machine. I'll take a polite RTFM if you can show me explictly where.
Thanks,
Andy
