Note that hosts_access(5) / tcpd(8) won't be much less than 
postscreen itself.  You'd still have the TCP connection.  Also, 
postscreen here is not linked against libwrap.  I'm not sure if 
Postfix supports it?

<mode=pedant> There's no native DENY target in iptables.  There is 
"DROP", a built-in target, and "REJECT", a target extension with 
various options for ICMP rejections to send. </mode>

Right.  Firewall blocking (perhaps via some mechanism like fail2ban 
+ ipset) isn't a bad idea, but it's certainly not necessary.
