    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.
