I have the following in my /etc/postfix/main.cf:
local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps, unix:passwd.byname
What this does is that mail for unknown users is rejected outright (like
spam), preventing the session from continuing, and relieving us from the
awful task of having to send a bounce back message to a possibly invalid
address.
