The service is an SMTP "bouncer", keeping unwanted clients from entering
the premises. We already have a "bounce unix" service, will having:

    ...
    bounce    unix  -       -       n       -       0       bounce

cause significant confusion?

It's no worse than smtp versus smtpd. If there exists a different
name for the agent at the door, then that might work.  Alas, cerberus
is already in use (by the "kerberos" authentication system).

Possible substitutes include concierge or valet, or perhaps any of the less specific guard, sentry, sentinel, ...
