Well it is a domain I host. I did remove the MX records in a hope that
it would stop the incoming traffic, but it hasn't. This domain is just a
website pointer. It's not supposed to accept mail anyways. I didn't have
it in the local_domains list.

And my dnslookup router is already this:

dnslookup:
driver = dnslookup
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more

Is that just not doing the same thing?
