Hmmm... then what happens in my server is incorrect.
For now I have just a few "mailboxes" in the virtual domain. When using
telnet to port 25 trying delivery to an invalid recipient I get a "550
<xxxvirtual.domain.tld>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in
virtual mailbox table". Delivery using commandline "sendmail" to the
same invalid recipient forwards the mail to maildrop as in my configuration.
If I try delivery to the servers local (/etc/passwd mailboxes) - I
correctly get a bounce.
What might be wrong?
Regards,
M.
