Changing their password as suggested will prevent the user from logging into 
any services which use the passwd database on the machine.  

You use dovecot for pop3/imap and sendmail for smtp.  That much you have told 
us.  What we don't know is what kind of authentication you use on each of 
these services.  Assuming that changing the password didn't work then this is 
the information which is needed before any more specific suggestions can be 
made.  Once that is known, the solution should be obvious.

This is also assuming that you are the administrator of the machine in 
question.
