Copy the encrypted password from /etc/passwd (or /etc/shadow), delete the
user info, set up user s011u432 (or whatever), make sure you copy the
encrypted password back, and set him/her up the alias info. Even better,
write a small script to do that (not difficult) and tell cron to run it at
4:00am. That should work fine, and hopefully your customer won't get any
mail in the 10-second period during which his account is gone.

Note that this *would* cause some problems if the user has files in his/her
directory (such as scripts, a personal website, etc.) that he/she needs. If
this were true then more changes and things would have to be made.

Again, I *think* this is fine. Let's see if someone else adds to the pot.
