dovecot - Sep 2013 - Temporarily disable mail delivery when using Dovecot's LDA

Hi,

How can I disable mail delivery to a user or a mailbox temporarily. Is
there something in the lines of qmail where you set a sticky bit on
the home directory and mail delivery is deferred?

Thanks,
Avinash.

This is a job for your MTA, not Dovecot.  Dovecot has no deferred queue,
and in fact has no mail queues at all.

Do you actually want to defer the mail into a queue, or do you want to
return a 4xx "mailbox temporarily unavailable" to the sender?

In other words, what problem are you trying to solve?
