The SMTP daemon uses uses "local_recipient_maps" to reject mail for local recipients that don't exist. http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html This describes how Postfix rejects mail for non-existent recipients. When there is no table of known recipients, some people use reject_unverified_recipient instead. http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html Wietse
