You may want to use a transport map for this.
/etc/postfix/master.cf
slow_rcpt unix - - n - - smtp
-o smtp_rcpt_timeout=1000s
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
/etc/postfix/transport:
# Specify the recipient's domain name, not the MTA hostname.
bluehost.com slow_rcpt:
Commands:
# postmap hash:/etc/postfix/transport
# postfix reload
