Or, make your system-wide filter have the line

    freeze


in it. Or even,

if ($sender_host_address is not "") then
    freeze
endif


which will freeze any incoming messages while allowing immediate
delivery of outgoing messages.

Using freeze has a distinct advantage over queue_only in some
circumstances. The most important one happens if your goal is to
exercise some control over what gets sent (like the despamming
service I'm working on) but you want normal delivery operation for
"approved" messages.
