Hello,
MTA is qmail, and there is no problem with it (qmail is stopped for current user - sticky bit set). Problem is dovecot - and is not possible to stop dovecot (due to clients)
Then copy mailboxes to somewhere else and make backup there.

Hello,
is there some way how to disable temporarily account or access to files. I need to backup with tar, but there is problem when tar is reading and some file changed (with --ignore-failed-read it continues but archive is not created and without --ignore-failed-read it fails). Some accounts are huge ;( Need something like qmail sticky bit or world writable directory - qmail is not delivering when one of above conditions hits.
Stop your MTA.
Thank you for helping me.
