Why do inactive users still receive email?

We have an internal-only AskBot system, so when users leave the company, they are deactivated (via Django admin page http://askbot.ourdomain.com/admin/auth/user/).

It seems that these users are still receiving emails based on their email settings. I know this because the mail sent to their inactive Inboxes is being rerouted to their managers, and their managers are complaining to me about the mail. I have deactivated the users and still the mail is being sent.

First of all, is this a bug? If not, how do I make sure such users no longer receive any mail?
