I believe you will break mailing list (ezmlm) messages should you defeat this feature.

That being said, you can easily do this with badmailto, providing none of your addresses contain a dash. You can simply write a badmailto entry that effectively says "any address with a dash in the account portion is invalid". Such as:
[-...@mydomain\.com$

Hi Again

What would be the best way to stop this form happening, is there a way i can stop it from ignoring the bit with the hyphen so it realises its a non-existent user?


Best way? Recompile vpopmail without the --enable-qmail-ext flag.
Otherwise, the man page explains it and how it's processed:

EXTENSION ADDRESSES
      In  the qmail system, you control all local addresses of the form
user-anything, as well as the  address  user  itself,  where user  is
your account  name.   Delivery  to  user-anything  is controlled by the
file homedir/.qmail-anything.  (These rules may be  changed by the
system administrator; see qmail-users(5).)
      The alias user controls all other addresses.  Delivery to local
is controlled by the file homedir/.qmail-local, where homedir is alias___
s home directory.
In the following description, qmail-local is handling a message addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], where local is controlled by .qmail-ext. Here is what it does.
      If .qmail-ext  is completely empty, qmail-local follows the
defaultdelivery instructions set by your system administrator.
If .qmail-ext doesn___t exist, qmail-local will try some default .qmail files. For example, if ext is foo-bar, qmail-local will try
first .qmail-foo-bar, then .qmail-foo-default,  and finally
.qmail-default. If  none  of these exist, qmail-local will bounce the
message.
