Put in a router which routes all matching users to :defer: ?
Something like...
defer_users:
driver = redirect
domains = +local_domains
local_parts = lsearch;/where/your/list/is
data = :defer:Down for maintenance
no_verify
Don't leave a user in there for long enough that it starts sending
warnings or bounces, of course.
