Good point. What we are trying to accomplish is prevent this account from
discovered until an appropriate time. In this case the person is a director
level who didn't want his account here visible until he was 100% out of his last
position, but at the same time we needed to communicate with him, but not at his
former employers site.

In the end what we want is a regular account that gets treated like a non
existent account if you send mail to it from outside of our system.
