With soft_bounce = yes, postfix will 450 defer any mail that would
otherwise be rejected. The sending system won't generate a bounce
for whatever it's equivalent $maximal_queue_lifetime setting.

This is intended as a "test" setting that lets you see what would be
rejected without actually rejecting anything. (The invalid addresses
won't be accepted, but the sending system should try again later.)

Your call, do whichever seems better for you.
