in that case maildrop should put the mail in the queue and set it to "temproary unavailable" as it was done with all mails in earlier versions.

Is it due to the version we are using? Do new versions correct the problem? Perhaps the solution is to upgrade... or perhaps hack the source?

i'm using version 1.6.3 - the last recent one.

before i compiled the deb-package by myself, i had a maildrop-mysql package (version 1.3.?). there, maildrop didn't bounce the mails. every not deliverable mail was in the queue afterwards. this is also not a very good solution because the queue is filled up and the senders which probably misspelled some emailadresses doesn't get an immediate answer. maybe after some time (default 5 days?) postfix is giving up.

another missing thing is a "catchall" address. the postfix-mysql extension supports an emailadress @domain.ch, which fetches all mail.

i don't know how much interests there are with the recent spam attacks. i had to disable catchall functions for some domains because some spamers abused randomly selected senderadresses. because all sender addresses were valid, these domains got flooded by mailerdaemon answers :)
