Still seems rather vague to me, but the answer is as in all matters backscattery: do not accept mail that you cannot deliver. Perhaps you're needing to decommission this third MX host. At very least you must set up a means to validate recipients for the domain[s] in question. http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html#relay_domain_class http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relay_recipient_maps A commonly-chosed alternative is recipient verification: http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html#recipient http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#reject_unverified_recipient -- Offlist mail to this address is discarded unless "/dev/rob0" or "not-spam" is in Subject: header
