Ehm you mean from the primary server?

No. The backup MX will accept the mail, attempt to deliver it to the primary, the primary will refuse to accept mail for a nonexistent recipient, the backup MX will then bounce it back.

I have to setup an alias

@example.com: foocatch

and in the account of "foocatch" I need

~/.courier-default

with "| /usr/bin/maildrop" in it. Now what about the ~/.mailfilters/rcptfilter
stuff?

That's something completely different, Courier invoking maildrop during an SMTP session, not upon local mail delivery.

man localmailfilter.

~/.courier ~/.mailfilters/rcptfilter

But does this mean, to let rcptfilter work, I have to install for EACH valid
localpart a file

~/.mailfilters/rcptfilter-<localpart>

~/.mailfilters/rcptfilter-default will work fine.
