Anyway, this sounds like what you want, but it may require a bit of work for a larger setup: http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#client_sasl_sender > Some times smarthost account get blocked for a short period of time due to > spammers brute forde attack, so, how can I tell postfix, that keep in queue > messages that could't be delivered to the smarthost because of a blocked > account without noticing the user, just the postmaster. Postfix will notify the sender about delays because that makes sense. Maybe you can configure this, I'm not sure. Or just turn off delay notifications.
