After a user has left an organization, and there's been a period of wind-down, it would be useful to "close" an email address (as opposed to just deleting it or leaving it active as a black hole).
There is an SMTP response code defined for this:
5.2.1 Mailbox disabled, not accepting messages
The mailbox exists, but is not accepting messages. This may be
a permanent error if the mailbox will never be re-enabled or a
transient error if the mailbox is only temporarily disabled.
I'm looking for a way to support this in iRedMail, maybe something that works similarly to the domain-level "Enable This Domain" checkbox.
Thoughts?
