I am moving some maildirs around for some of my users so I dont want them to get any mail whilst I am moving them, but I dont want to turn off delivery altogether for the other users who arent affected.

I have an router:
defer_users:
driver = redirect
domains = <my domains>
no_verify
require_files = /.../defer-users/$local_part
allow_defer
data = :defer: User's account is under maintenance
All I need to do is 'touch /.../defer-users/local_part>' in order to cause
messages to be queued. Once I have finished working on the mailbox I remove
the file.
If you are using an off-the-shelf config with an aliases file you could add an
entry to that file along similar lines:
local_part: :defer: User's account is under maintenance
but you would need to make sure your aliases router contained 'allow_defer'.
