Yes, it bounces. This makes you a backacatter source. This is bad.
but doesn't my postfix server bounce by default when receiving a
mail for an inexistent address? and if it doesn't, how are users
who misspell my address to know their message didn't get delivered?
No, not generally. Unknown users are REJECTed, not bounced.
ok, I'm not getting this. your statements of 12:53AM and of 1:03PM
seem contradictory... if an address doesn't exist, does it get bounced
(as stated on 12:53AM) or rejected (as stated on 1:03PM, in which case
I'm _not_ a backscatter source, and with which Ansgar and mouss seem
to agree)?
