Operating Postfix with tables that fail to return lookup results is
not a supported configuration, and Postfix responds in the only sensible
way.

If you want to put the system in "maintenance mode", by all means
do that, with an access table that successfully returns a "DEFER" action.
main.cf:
smtpd_client_restrictions =
check_client_address cidr:/etc/postfix/down.cidr
down.cidr:
0.0.0.0/0 DEFER Scheduled Maintenance
Unplanned failures, with configured tables not working as specified are
not "scheduled maintenance".

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
