Why are you accepting mail for non-existent recipients? That is NOT the default 
Postfix behavior. If the recipient does not exist, by default, Postfix will 
reject the mail. To get the “accept and then bounce” behavior you seem to have, 
you have changed something. But since you have provided no information on your 
configuration, anything further is merely guessing.
