Hi,
I have set up postfix with a mail_transport to Zarafa. To fix an '
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table'
error I have to put an empty 'local_recipient_maps =' in postfix's

The correct solution is to point that parameter at a map
containing all your valid users.
Often this is caused by listing a virtual_mailbox_domain in
mydestination. Don't do that.
I do wonder about the security implications of setting this
option. If I understand the documentation correctly it isn't wise to
set this option to empty. Is this correct? Besides the information
below I can't find much information about this option.Thanks in
advance!
Accepting mail for undeliverable recipients will cause postfix
to send non-delivery notices -- bounces -- to the reported
envelope sender.
The envelope sender on spam is frequently either a non-working
address or an innocent third party.
This has two results; your queue is filled with undeliverable
bounces, and you send bounces to innocent third parties. The
full queue will badly affect delivery of legit mail, and the
backscatter you send to innocent people will get you blacklisted.
Rejecting the mail during the initial SMTP session avoids
these problems.
