You can change hard errors into soft errors with pipe_delivery_status_filter.
This requires Postfix 3.0 or later.
Wietse
default_delivery_status_filter (default: empty)
Optional filter to replace the delivery status code or explanatory text
of successful or unsuccessful deliveries. This does not allow the
replacement of a successful status code (2.X.X) with an unsuccessful
status code (4.X.X or 5.X.X) or vice versa.
The following parameters can be used to implement a filter for specific
delivery agents: lmtp_delivery_status_filter, local_delivery_sta-
tus_filter, pipe_delivery_status_filter, smtp_delivery_status_filter or
virtual_delivery_status_filter. These parameters support the same fil-
ter syntax as described here.
[lots of text omitted, including an example]
This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
