As Viktor pointed out, they will. But no check will be done to see if
they exist any more, so serverA will start bouncing tons of junk mail to
non-existent users and spammers will merrily be able to try every
combination of nameyourdomain.tld, so that existing users as well will
get junk mail.

See sample-main.cf and sample-smtpd.conf "REJECTING MAIL FOR UNKNOWN
LOCAL USERS" and LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README

Your chat room friend let you down badly.

As I wrote in another posting, i solve your problem by using a dedicated
alias map for users whose mail should be redirected to other addresses,
but it can be done other ways, too.

Do not CC me or your mail will probably be rejected.
I don't like this, either. Blame it on Swen and a slow
Internet connection.
