Just to push you in the right direction,

What you need to do is have postfix check for the validity of the user. Look in your postfix main.cf file. Pay attention to the "smtpd_recipient_restrictions","local_recipient_maps", and "virtual_alias_maps" settings. You may have to reinstall/recompile Postfix to support the same authentication scheme used in your courier configuration (LDAP,MySQL?).

Good Luck, Rolan

I'm having problems with maildrop + postfix (virtual_users) and unknown users.

If someone sends a mail for a unknown virtual user (e.g. not-@example.com), postfix gives 'ok', but maildrop returns a bounce:

Sep 7 04:40:03 myserver postfix/pipe[2782]: A613313400: to=<not-@example.com>, relay=maildrop, delay=1.1, delays=1.1/0.01/0/0.02, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown. Command output: Invalid user specified. )

Take this problem to the Postfix list. maildrop has no control over Postfix accepting or rejecting any message. If you want Postfix to reject mail to nonexistent recipients -- as it should be doing, and this is the proper thing to do -- it's Postfix that needs to be fixed. This has nothing to do with maildrop.
