All work OK except when I send a mail from nonexistent-user@my-domain to user@my-domain, courier permit send, no has control about identity of nonexistent-user that send mail =(.

SMTP doesn't define a mechanism for verifying return addresses. You can always send an email with whatever "From" address you want, regardless of the server, unless the server has a "dialback" mechanism of some type (which is uncommon).

Outbound SPF checking could accomplish what Adrián wants (i.e. applying SPF checks to relayed messages, not just to incoming ones). An SPF record for the "my-domain" domain with an "exists:..." SPF mechanism and a correspondingly set up DNS server would be required, though.

How to for control this? Any idea.

You could write a courier filter.

That might be an option.
