What we do when we do this is to change the home directory pointer in
the passwd file to something distinctive. As this is for cancelling
rather than locking users, we set it to /home/CANCELLED. Then we can
pick up such users with this director, which is placed immediately after
system_aliases:
# This director handles the lookup of cancelled users who are
# identified by having their home directories set to /home/CANCELLED.
cancelled_users:
driver = localuser
transport = cancelleduser_pipe
fail_verify
match_directory = /home/CANCELLED
The corresponding transport is
# This transport is used for piping messages for cancelled users to a
# shell script that generates a suitable message.
cancelleduser_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/opt/exim/util/cancelleduser.sh"
ignore_status
return_output
user = nobody
If you don't want to change the home directory in the passwd file,
have a look at the require_files generic director/router option. It may
be that
require_files = +!$home
on the localuser director above (and removing the match_directory) would
have the effect you want.
