Do you have soft bounce turned on? A mailbox unavailable message
should be a 550 error. Or is the problem that the relay gets back
the rejection, and then queues a message to the originating mailer
(which was, of course, a drone, and therefore won't be available)?
The latter case will _also_ eat up a ton of resources.
Unfortunately, there's no standards-compliant way to drop such
connections on the floor instead of erroring, once you've accepted
the mail.
Better to reject at the time of connection, which is what the
local_recipient_maps setting is for.
