It doesn't matter if there is a user with that name or not.  All that
matters is whether or not there is one defined in the user repository.

Why did mail to postmaster fail?  Did you turn on DEBUG for the logs to see
if you could see why a message to deesee-admin or postmaster is not being
directed to the local repository?  Resolving that problem would take care of
the rest.
