That is an entirely different question then.  Both Kolab and Postfix are 
doing what you have them configured to do.

I don't know how you would what you are asking.  I think that you would 
need to somehow run a separate copy of smtpd that was configured to 
never do local delivery?

No offense intended, but this is a very strange sounding policy.  What 
is the purpose behind it?  Maybe there is another way to do the same 
thing.
