How to close (expire) account?

[Hanasaki JiJi <ha...@hanaden.com>]

Below is a response to this question for the Exim.org smtp server.  How 
can this be done on the James server?  Any comparison of features 
between exim and james?

Maybe with a director like this one

closed_accounts:
   driver = forwardfile
   local_parts = /etc/exim/expired_users
   allow_fail
   data = :fail: User $local_part has expired

I'm not very fimilar with exim3 anymore, but this should give you at
least a starting point :)
