Postfix listens for all connections on inet_interfaces.

The easiest, and best, way is to block these in your Linux firewall

An even easier alternative is to let Postfix listen to localhost only, by adding "127.0.0.1:" in front of the "smtp" configuration setting in master.cf, so that it says something like this:

127.0.0.1:smtp      inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd

That way it will not be directly reachable from the outside.
