It's called "collateral spam". Picture this: Spammer sends spam with a forged
sender address and a bad recipient address. Your server accepts it and says
goodby, then tries to deliver it, finds that routing fails, and sends a
bounce to the forged sender address. If others do the same, that poor guy
whose address was abused then drowns in bounces.
You still haven't quite explained what you *really* want, but the problem
seems to be that some MUA becomes confused when one of several recipients is
rejected and what you really need is to accept all mail from local users. Why
do you want to reject recipients listed in a file called valid.users?
Shouldn't that be invalid.users?
