http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#defer_if_permit
defer_if_permit
Defer the request if some later restriction would result in an
explicit or implicit PERMIT action. This is useful when a
blacklisting feature fails due to a temporary problem. This
feature is available in Postfix version 2.1 and later.
