In that case, a hypothetical "tempfail_action = permit" would be 99.9% identical to setting up a backup MX without any recipient validation and refusing all mail as long as the primary MX reponds. If there's something missing in Postfix, them that is what should be added (refusing mail if the primary responds). Wietse
