If you are locking the subscriber out and bouncing incoming mail, why do you want to "suspend" the account and not just delete it?  Is this just temporary to get the subscriber to pay his bill?

And the real bummer still exists in that the server still accepts the email up front, then cannot deliver and ends up trying to bounce to a likely bogus address or list that does not do bounces, so we end up with even more "mailer-daemon" email in queue.
