If I am not mistaken that will catch everything, while something with

driver = localuser

will catch all and only those things that would be delivered locally.
It is only those which I wish to defer. I'd prefer not to defer unknown
users and the like.

So, I believe that what I stated I wanted was indeed what I want. I want
a director with the localuser driver to defer instead of deliver.

I suppose I could try to put a fancy condition into a smartuser directory
to see that it is only "valid" local username. But since that is already
built into localuser, I'd thought that I would do that.
