Thanks so very much for the detailed response. Unfortunately I still
seem to be confused.

Greetings,
We run postfix-2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64 and I would like to be able
to
temporarily manipulate the filesystem on the mailserver for a specific
user (me actually), and not have to worry about doing this "quickly"
before new incoming email arrives. Our authentication is via LDAP and
I
can obviously "hard bounce" email for my account quite easily. I'd be
happy with either of the following options:
1. respond with a temporary delivery failure error code for just my
user
Use a transport map:
u...@example.com retry:mailbox temporarily unavailable
This will still accept mail from SMTP, but will queue it.
I added this line to /etc/postfix/transport (for a test account) and
then as root ran
# postmap /etc/postfix/transport
and then
# /etc/init.d/postfix reload
but emails sent locally to this account still appeared in the account's
inbox when I checked after this procedure (I was expecting them to not
be delivered as I understood the explanation to be that they would be
queued but not delivered).
Perchance would someone be willing to explain what I'm still not
understanding?
thanks so very much for your assistance in advance,
~c
