You man still want to turn off the SMTP listener on colonel.com.pl,
because it will never receive legitimate email.

Thank you for answer. I suppose I don't understand properly. How could I do this if this
domain has MX on Google?

If your e-mail is handled by Google, then you should not have an SMTP server running (listening) on colonel.com.pl.

So you should go (ssh) to colonel.com.pl and disable/deinstall/firewall/etc. postfix so that it does not accept incoming e-mails (e.g. ports 25, 465, 587).

If anyone wants to send you an e-mail, the MTA (sending server) will lookup colonel.com.pl and find the relevant MX record pointing to Google. The MTA will then send the e-mail to the Google server.

In severely broken situations an MTA might decide to try to send it directly to colonel.com.pl and -- surprise -- find a welcoming (listening) SMTP server. You don't want that, so, again, you should disable/remove/uninstall the SMTP server on colonel.com.pl

Hopefully this is clear now.
