Well, smtpd(8) restrictions don't apply to locally submitted email. I generally configure the default Postfix instance (that handles local mail injection) as a null client (as in MULTI_INSTANCE_README) and that makes it possible to use transport_mapa, and/or default_transport to control which destinations are reachable by adding "error:5.1.2 ..." transport overrides. The network-facing MTA runs as a separate Postfix instance, in which local submission is restricted: authorized_submit_users = root, postfix -- Viktor.
