Postfix does NOT cache transport lookups in the queue file, each
time a message is retried new transport lookups are performed for
each recipient.
Perhaps your active queue contained a backlog of messages awaiting their
next attempt to reach the dead server. With the transport table updated
you just need to wait, but if you prefer, a "postfix reload" will drain
the active queue back into the incoming queue, and the transport lookups
will then be fresh.
Just waiting is another option, the messages will be retried and will
use the updated transport.
Don't use "postsuper -r", unless the queue files contain stale content_filter
settings or require a fresh round of address rewriting by cleanup(8).
