The service is an SMTP "bouncer", keeping unwanted clients from entering

While I like the name, please no. Postfix support lists have had to call
attention to "smtp" v. "smtpd" enough.
I would usually concur, but the "bounce" service is largely invisible
to users, so confusion is far less likely. You may still be right, but
it is far less significant than with smtp(8) and smtpd(8).
I'm inclined to agree that adding more possible confusion is not a good
thing even if it is minimal. What about some variation on a propylaeum
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylaea)? A propylaeum is a gateway that
sits at the entrance of a sacred enclosure. The most famous one is at
the Acropolis. Entering the Acropolis was permitted or denied at the
Propylaeum. A literal reading of the Greek would be something like 'that
which is before the entrance (or gates)'.
