I had a similar situation some time ago.
I did the following:
Modify postfix main.cf with:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_sender_access
hash:/etc/postfix/emergency,
....
smtpd_sender_restrictions = check_sender_access
hash:/kolab/etc/postfix/emergency,
...
Then in emergency I wrote the line:
user a domain.tld REJECT
Then I entered the command:
postmap emergency
And reload postfix.
This prevent user a domain.tld to send mails completely.
