When I posted the original message I had assumed that there was some command
I was missing that would tell postfix not to relay messages. After reading
the replies I received I quickly concluded that this was not the case, but
that I likely had created a loophole through a misconfiguration error, so I
redid the configuration file from scratch. That has fixed the problem,
although I don't know for sure what was wrong with the old file that allowed
the mess.
