ok, so, to clarify, you have a spam system already, that catches spam and
puts it into a mailbox for you to check over, but you are saying that it
catches spam destined for mailboxes that no longer exist, yet its shunted to
your catch-all mailbox and just clutters it up, making looking for false
positives an even harder task.
i hear ya.

Yes I mean being delivered to existing and deleted users. I currently have the mail being forwarded to an account I use to manage all spam hitting the server. This account is holding all of the crap that's being sent to multiple existing and deleted user accounts. The only problem is that I do get false-positives from time to time so I'm wondering if I can keep mail from arriving to the user accounts that I know are deleted from the network?
Thanks

If by "delivered to them", you mean that mail is still being sent to those
addresses, but not stored in a mailbox (thus, an NDR is being sent out)..
then there is nothing you can do about it. IF you mean that this mail is
being stored in some mailbox that has no user account, then you need to
either purge the mailbox or assign it to a dummy account and then delete the
dummy account and mailbox.
