Paul,

your director is checking the domain the message is destined for, not that
the mailbox exists.

Regards,
Mark.

Dear Phillip,

Thanks for point this out, below is the original transport handler and it's
corresponding director below it.

virtual_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = ${lookup mysql {MYSQL_MAILBOX}{$value}}
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
user = mail
group = mail

virtual_local_user:
domains = ${lookup mysql {MYSQL_DOMAIN}{$value}}
driver = smartuser
transport = virtual_delivery

Thanks
Paul

By getting the *director* not to recognize the address. You haven't
posted the director you are using, so I can't tell you what's wrong with
it...
