It should always reject email to invalid users. Is this a separate machine configured as an internet relay that doesn't have the actual accounts? If so, you might set up the valid users in the virtusers table with explict forwarding if there aren't too many instead of blindly forwarding for the domain. A nicer approach is to install MimeDefang which has an option to check recipients via smtp on the final destination host before accepting on the relay. And it can do whatever virus and spam checks you might want, too: http://www.mimedefang.org/ -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
