That's the reason I ended up writing my own SMTP server (in Python3): I
just never could figure out how to configure Postfix to my liking.

For once I appreciated the tons of spam arriving at my mail address. I
didn't have to come up with test material because every few minutes a
fresh spam message came knocking on my door.
