In main.cf, in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions, put in a recipient
check:

  check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_access

Then create (and hash) the recipient_access map:

janehawkmountain.net REJECT

I actually haven't tried this with local aliases, but I don't see why it
wouldn't work (I'm sure someone will tell both of us if this is
incorrect). Also, get rid of the altered transport entry.
