I am using Postfix as a filter, it is protecting end-users on Office
365, Google Apps and a cPanel server.
We are seeing quite a few "Recipient address rejected: Service is
unavailable (try later)" messages in mail.log.
The email will be accepted at 8:47, rejected at 8:51, then accepted
again at 9am
Any idea what's going on - and how to resolve the issue? Thursday, I
deleted /var/lib/postfix/verify_cache.db, it doesn't seem probable that
it's corrupted again. We are seeing it when the destination host is
Office 365 and when destination host is cPanel (Exim/Dovecot).

Here is how I have configured my recipient restrictions:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks
reject_unauth_destination
reject_non_fqdn_recipient
check_recipient_access regexp:/etc/postfix/rcptaccess
check_sender_access regexp:/etc/postfix/senderaccess check_client_access
cidr:/etc/postfix/clientaccess check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10022
reject_unknown_recipient_domain reject_unverified_recipient
unverified_recipient_reject_code = 450
