Both are using the exit-codes in <sysexits.h>. When Maildrop exits with

Linux, other environments may show different behaviour).
This is the standard behavior of maildrop, to change that to have
postfix reject the mail. You have to apply a patch from Matthias Andre
(check the archive or google).
Sam doesn't want to exit with EX_NOUSER when the user is not existing.
(It saved me once not to lose some mail, but I think this is not
the "right" behavior). He believes that it is the MTA job to reject
unknown user from the start.
Here is a workaround for Postfix. If, in your userdb, each user's
name is also their email address, you can run the userdb through awk:
awk '{print $1"\tOK"}' < userdb
and it will output a map suitable for use with Postfix. Call it
"recipmap", say, and run "postmap recipmap", then, in main.cf, set
up something like this:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions: [...],
check_recipient_access hash:/path/to/recipmap,
reject
