Hello,

MTA is qmail, and there is no problem with it (qmail is stopped for
current user - sticky bit set). Problem is dovecot - and is not
possible to stop dovecot (due to clients)
Then copy mailboxes to somewhere else and make backup there.

Hello,

is there some way how to disable temporarily account or access to
files. I need to backup with tar, but there is problem when tar is
reading and some file changed (with --ignore-failed-read it continues
but archive is not created and without --ignore-failed-read it fails).
Some accounts are huge ;( Need something like qmail sticky bit or
world writable directory - qmail is not delivering when one of above
conditions hits.


 Stop your MTA.

Thank you for helping me.
