You're nicer then I am. I don't want the dead traffic going thru my system
or taking away 'upstream' bandwidth. When a user leaves here, we go into
/etc/passwd and put an 'x' in front of the name (fred becomes xfred) and
their mail starts bouncing with 'no such user'. It's amazing how fast
listservs/admins who ignore sysadmin drop requests, modify their membership
lists when mail starts bouncing back to them.....
