And what is that parameter for? :-?

Ah, you wanted to disable "smtp" connections at all? Mmm, I'm
still a bit confused about your goals...
I would like port 25 to be closed. Surely if I'm not receiving, I
don't need to listen on it? I don't need it to send, do I?

Have you thought about nullmailer ?

I have but my limited investigation of nullmailer led me to believe that I must put my email account's password into the config of the server to allow it to pass on the emails it deals with. I'm much happier having only my personal email address in the system's /etc/aliases file, and in the future I'll probably change this too.
