After trying it, this is a problem too, because although they now have no mail 
property (and postfix will bounce messsages to them), they may still be in 
distribution lists, and the only (web-gui) way to do this is to look through 
every single distribution list and manually delete them(painful!). This is 
needed here - people can quit/be fired/be killed by it dept etc, and 
disabling/removing them should be quick and easy!

This will stop them logging in, but their mailbox will continue to grow.
