Hi all,
I need to move e-mail files of my users from one file system to another.
I use a MySQL backend on Dovecot 2.1.
How can I do to disable temporary an account while moving files ?
I have an "active" bit in my DB, but if I set it to 0, my MX servers are bouncing mails.
How can I do to disable temporary an account ? In fact, I need dovecot not to do any change on files...
I think I could change account password for a while, and reset it after migration, but it will disturb connected users.
Maybe I could chmod 0 files on my old file system during migration ? How Dovecot will act ?
Thank you :)

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
