I believe you can do this with check_recipient_access, e.g.:

/etc/postfix/main.cf:

   smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
     [..]
     check_recipient_access pcre:/etc/postfix/recipient_checks.pcre
     [..]

/etc/postfix/recipient_checks.pcre:

   /.*\@.*/ HOLD

This should accept all incoming mail, and hold it in the queue that you can later release with postsuper.

You'll need to reload postfix to have it re-read the .pcre file. Other lookup tables probably work too.


Hmm. I've tried:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_recipient_access pcre:/etc/postfix/recipient_checks.pcre, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_non_fqdn_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, check_policy_service unix:/var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket

So putting your restriction at the beginning.

cat /etc/postfix/recipient_checks.pcre
/.*\@.*/ HOLD

I've tried restarting and reloading postfix, and mails still are being delivered internally immediately.
