Not exactly a failure, as doing so would instruct postscreen to simply DISCONNECT (i.e., drop the connection immediately). In which case a single 'master_service_disable = inet' would be more elegant and similarly effective. My question should have been: Using only the frugal postscreen resources is there a way to achieve something like 'postscreen_blacklist_action = defer' , i.e., to configure it to immediately NOQUEUE all connections with a 450 SMTP reply? Thank you, M.
