} Could it not be arranged that the mailboxes are created when the
} accounts are created, and then if the users do not have write access to
} the directory, their MUAs are unable to delete them?

I suppose so, but this seems problematical if the file does go for
whatever reason... I guess you just defer/freeze messages in this case.

} Interesting. I put such a thing on the Exim list some time ago, but
} nobody has actually every asked me for it, so it hasn't got done.

You then bounce incoming mail...?
