I need to put the maildrop dir on another disk, because of space
requirements.

It has to be done almost on the fly, because it is the main mailserver and
radius autenticator.

So I'll shut down, install the new (already fdisk, mkfs'ed) disk and
reboot.

While the system is online I'll move the users mailfiles, and then mount
the new disk on top of the old /var/spool/mail.

So I'll need to disable sendmail from delivering local mail while I'm
copying, it should just accept and queue it. 

How do I do this?

The pop-3 daemon will just get an empty maildir and a bulletin.
