I have several accounts for users that are long gone. I've gone into scoadmin and disabled them, but they continue getting email, mostly spam. Is there a way to make the mail bounce and not get through?

 
We've always made it a habit of "Deleting" vs. "Retiring" users in scoadmin account. This does not clean up their home directory or left over mail, however. Run rmdir -r /usr/old_user and remove any left over mail in /var/spool/mail. Attempts to send mail to these accounts should then be blocked.
