Why are you accepting mail for nonexistent recipients in the first place?

Because I have no other choice.

Background: I'm trying to integrate maildrop with Postfix for support of local Unix users.

There is currently no sane way to reject invalid users via the /usr/sbin/sendmail interface. Rejecting mail coming in via SMTP works and is documented in Postfix' FAQ (hint: local_recipient_maps).
