Hi Noel,
many thanks for reply.
So if I need restrict sending to some recipients that are exactly in
mynetworks (this postfix instance relays email to other
email-application on the same host) I have to put
check_recipient_access regexp:/etc/postfix/recipient.regexp before
permit_mynetworks but have to warn any other admins do not place any
OK rules in /etc/postfix/recipient.regexp?

I do understand that it is bad practice drop silently any email.. but
I just need prevent sending auto-replies (NDR) from this "other"
email-application  to received  "out of office" from remote hosts
(legitimate users)...  (too much useless email: backscatter(s) --->
entire world sends "out of office"--->  to my "other"
email-application via my postfix --> email-application sends NDR back
to entire world as postmaster --> entire world sends "out of office"
to my postmaster.. %) cool.. )
