Sorry, sent that off a tad too quickly.

Of course, that stops remote deliveries as well. To stop just local
deliveries, make this your first director:

  defer_all:
    driver = aliasfile
    file = /etc/deferall
    search_type = lsearch*


and put in that file the single line

*: :defer:

When you are ready to go again, remove all that and do a -qf run to
override the retry times.

Not tested.
