Yes, just changed it to:
---
begin routers
outgoing:
driver = accept
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
no_more
incoming:
driver = accept
transport = local_queue
check_local_user
begin transports
local_queue:
driver = appendfile
file = /dev/null
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
---
Now all recipient checks should be able to succeed without errors :)
Daemons run with the following parameters, I will kill the -q5m for the
incoming queue .....
