I am testing a new server running Postfix 2.7.0 on Ubuntu 10.4. I am using postmulti. The instance for receiving mail is setup like below. Everything seems to be working fine. But I feel confused why messages for non existing accounts gets rejected with messages from policyd-weight and not with user unknown. It seems that if policyd-weight accepts the connection it does then get rejected with "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table" I would think that postfix would reject it right at "reject_unauth_destination". Is it because having smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient = yes gets evaluated later and not as a part of smtpd_recipient_restrictions?
