That's hardly surprising as you've just disabled local delivery of mail to that users account. A mail server is built to store email, why are you trying to stop users from keeping a copy of mail on the server?

Storage is cheap, I'd suggest you rethink your requirements and keep the mail on the server as one day you'll have a requirement to recover an email for a user.
