If you have no company policy, backing up would have been good. Especially if no one knows what he actually was working on :-]
my problem is how do i tell that this user does not work anymore in this company
In /etc/mail/virtusertable, add line: name@addre.ss error:nouser User unknown
Restart Sendmail, test.
