In virtusertable (I think you use sendmail on your MS box, don't you?) put:

exemployee at company.com  error:nouser    No such user

The "error:nouser" must be exactly as shown, however you can put whatever you
like in place of "No such user" (eg perhaps "This person has left" or "This
mailbox is no longer active") and this is the error message which will be
bounced back to the sender.
