Is workaround available for postfix bouncing mail when service turned off?

curts

New Pleskian
I have Plesk 9.3 and running Postfix.
Domain that has external mail server.
DNS correct, mx to external sever.
Mail settings in plesk turned off.

I find with postmap -s vmailbox and postmap -s virtual_domains the domain does not show up.
If I do "strings virtual_domains.db" or "strings vmailbox" it shows that the domain still has entries in the file.

In release notes for 9.5.4: -- Issue resolved for Postfix: mail server bounced mail messages sent to a domain with mail service turned off and mail to non-existent users bounce set up, instead of redirecting the mail to an external mail server defined with MX record in the DNS zone.

Is there a workaround so that I can force postfix to NOT treat this domain as local?
