read about this
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/RestrictAccess
and/or
if your user has static ip use firwall to reject ( be aware of nat )
and/or
change behave of sql active table with i.e postfix to tmp fail etc
i.e ( dont copy paste ,must fit to your postfix(sql)config !!! )
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
permit_mynetworks,
check_recipient_access
mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_inactive_mailaddress.cf,
mysql_virtual_inactive_mailaddress.cf
...
query = SELECT CONCAT('421 mailaddress %s is set in inactive mode')
address FROM mailbox WHERE username='%s' AND active = '0'
be aware of all other involved postfix/sql tables where active = 0 is
honored too, do hard testing before use in production
after all change password might be the most easy way for only seconds
