You can configure the system not to accept mail for that user, 
something like:

To:someuser at domain.com		550 Email to someuser has been disabled

...in /etc/mail/access.  You could set up a redirect alias and point 
mail for them to some other location, or even redirect mail for that 
user to /dev/null-- or via a REJECT or DISCARD entry in the access map.
