I would recommend using a router and not an ACL entry to accomplish
this. A router has the benefit of still blocking during reception due
to ACL recipient verification, but it will also cover any recipients
that may forward/redirect to these inactive users. If you use an ACL,
you won't be able to easily catch those.
Something like this should work, though I haven't tested:
fail_users:
driver = redirect
domains = +localdomains
local_parts = lsearch;/etc/exim/lists/fail_list
allow_fail
data = :fail: User no longer here, contact $local_part_data@$domain instead
fail_verify
The fail_list file would be in the format you described of "user: newuser",
one entry per line.
