What that message means is that the local recipient is not a valid
address. That can happen if the recipient:

  - is not a user
  - has the UID 0
  - doesn't own their home directory
  - has a home directory that isn't visible to user qmailp
  - has a username containing uppercase characters
  - has a username longer than 32 characters
  - isn't handled by an alias or catch-all .qmail file in ~alias

A more complete log snippet would have enabled a more useful
response.
