Not qmail related, but a trick I like to use is to just prepend *LOCK*
to their crypted password entry. Then to restore the account and put
the correct crypted password back, you just remove *LOCK*.
For example, if I have
sgifford:abc12345:::::
in /etc/shadow, it becomes
sgifford:*LOCK*abc12345:::::
That solves the problem of where to put the password, but maybe there
is a more elegant qmail-based solution.
Good luck,
