Hi Carrie,

Did you say you HAD found a shell too that enabled you to suspend users (individually only) ?
If so you could easily gain a list via shell of all users for a particular site (see example below), and pipe them through this script!
You could even write a little script that requires a site number to be entered, and let it collect the list of users and pipe each through the suspend prog.
Thats all assuming you found a shell suspend program !  :)  (I havn't gone looking yet!)

Heres a one-liner that will list all users under a site number: (replace site6 with whatever site has been naughty :)  - keep the trailing space after the site number tho)
    ls -Al /var/spool/mail/* | grep "site6 " | awk {'print $9'} | sed 's~.*/~~'
