infra(mail): remove 18 dormant snowshoe IPs from postfix + host

Consolidate the outbound mail footprint to match the SPF intent (already
trimmed to .94/.107 on 2026-06-19). A 20-IP sending footprint reads as
snowshoe spam to receivers and was contributing to domain-reputation
throttling (Microsoft 451 4.7.500, Gmail low-reputation).

Removed from /etc/postfix/master.cf: transports yahooslow, out02-04,
out06-20, rehab02-04, HC submission ports 2527/2528, hcout2/hcout3.
Removed from /etc/network/interfaces (+ live ip addr del): host bindings
.90-.93, .95-.106, .108-.109. Kept: .94 (trucking/out05), .107 (HC/hcout1),
.71/.72 (infra).

Verified live: postfix check OK, both streams still status=sent post-change,
SSH session on .71 unaffected, transport_maps still routes via out05.

Snapshots: infra/postfix/live-snapshots/master.cf, infra/network/interfaces.
Live backups on server: /root/{master.cf,interfaces}.bak_snowshoe_*.

.95-.106, .108-.109) were fully removed from BOTH postfix (`master.cf`
transports `yahooslow`/`out02-04`/`out06-20`/`rehab02-04`/`2527`/`2528`/
`hcout2`/`hcout3`) AND the host (`/etc/network/interfaces` + live `ip addr del`).
Only the two warm sending IPs (.94 trucking, .107 HC) plus infra (.71/.72)
remain bound. A 20-IP footprint reads as snowshoe spam and was hurting domain
reputation; the SPF was already trimmed to .94/.107 on 2026-06-19, so this just
makes the host/postfix match the SPF intent. Verified live: `postfix check` OK,
both streams still `status=sent` post-change, SSH unaffected. Reference snapshots
committed at `infra/postfix/live-snapshots/master.cf` + `infra/network/interfaces`
(live backups `/root/master.cf.bak_snowshoe_*` + `/root/interfaces.bak_snowshoe_*`).
