/etc/postfix/main.cf
transport_maps = static:{4.3.0 Mail service unavailable}
Sorry that should be:
transport_maps = static:{retry:4.3.0 Mail service unavailable}
That will stop Postfix from acccepting mail from the network.
Oh wow. Thanks for that tip!
I really need to get used to start using more of these static: maps. I
have a couple single-entry /^.*$/ pcre: tables which should probably all
be static:.
