Once in the queue, even if you delete the user, the mail will follow its 
life.

James will try to send a certain amount of time (depending on your 
RemoteDelivery mailet configuration in mailetcontainer.conf), to finally 
be removed from the spool.

You could go via JMX and remove it from the queue if you have the name 
of the mail to manual remove it.

Is this a normal behavior? Well, I think so.

Thx, Eric
