AFAICS, this is caused by the machine attempting to relay thousands and

And how exactly would you like me to fix *that*? The reason those were in
the queue is because svr4 is a legit MX record for the mailing lists ...
the messages are being delivered into svr4's mail queue, and
mail.postgresql.org subsequently refusing htem because they are for
invalid addresses ...
If I remove svr4 as an MX record, its just going to move to a different
machine ...
So, how exactly would you like me to "fix" that problem?
Postfix allows you to specify a list of valid email addresses. It should
be a simple matter of specifying what all the valid mailing list email
addresses are.
The list of email addresses changes over time ... so whomever creates a
new mailbox would need to remember to add it on the MX servers as well ...
