Hi,

Quoting the documentation[1]:

"The unverified_recipient_defer_code parameter (default 450) specifies
the numerical Postfix SMTP server reply code when a recipient address
probe fails with some temporary error. Some sites insist on changing
this into 250. NOTE: This change turns MX servers into backscatter
sources when the load is high."

So you are not rejecting any email if the MX is down. You are just
delaying reject or accept until the MX is asked if there is such user or
not. We're very happy with this over here.

HTH,
Mikael
