In the above example, mail from the machine 9.2.84.17 sent to
user[9.2.84.17] is delivered locally even while the host has a
relayhost defined.

You must have configured postfix in some odd manner that it does
not recognize [15.0.0.1] as local. It works for me, see above.

If I can't reproduce your problem then I cannot fix it.

The main.cf inet_interfaces parameter controls what user[ip.address]
are recognized as local.
