Hi,
I have a postfix-3.7.3 system on fedora37 and we're routing mail for a
business using an Ironport device at their border. Instead of accepting all
messages from us as their MX, there are some messages that it has
determined are spam or otherwise undeliverable, which are resulting in them
bouncing them back to us, where our system is then queuing them. These
messages are undeliverable (this one was from mail.sqribblepro.shop), so it
just sits in our queue, continually trying to be delivered unsuccessfully
until we either remove it or it expires.

We're only doing basic spam protection for them, and while this mail server
may be on a blocklist now, it wasn't then. It's also not always spam that
they reject, but otherwise legitimate messages that are blocked by policy.
I also realize having them adjust their policy is probably the best
solution, but that's not possible right now. How can I either immediately
drop these messages or simply not allow them to refuse these messages?

Thanks,
Alex
