When this problem happens, the email is coming from localhost, so it's
allowed to relay.  If the email address that is being delivered to is a
non-local account, then postfix will always accept it, as it doesn't know
whether or not the non-local account is deliverable.  

The only time that postfix gives 550 is when the non-existant user is
in hornclan.com.  And I know for a fact that I don't do anything like
impose quotas, nor do I administratively enforce a 550 response on any
valid accounts, nor do I suspect that 127.0.0.1 is going to cause a DNS
lookup failure because I run a local caching only DNS server.

Does that mean I'm 100% certain that 550 always means non-existant user,
no, I'm not.  But a sample of my logfiles indicates that the only time
postfix has (up to this point) given 550 is if the user doesn't exist.

I don't know.  But it's worth looking into.
