I would like to hear from members of the list how they are dealing with this sort of situation.
If you don't need to read the mail going to that account (i.e. not a sales person or someone who had direct relationship with a vendor, etc) then just return a 5xx error in session for attempted deliveries to that user.
Removed users don't make good spamtraps. Users who never existed though, can often be useful.
