fetchmail, postfix, luser_relay and not existing local user

Hi all,

we get our mail from fetchmail. fetchmail gives it to postfix and
postfix uses procmail for delivering.

All is fine, except mail to non-existing users. They should be delivered
to a special account.

I thougt this is what "luser_relay" is for. But still i get these errors
when fetchmail is fetching mail:

fetchmail: SMTP< 450 <nonexist@our_site.de>: User unknown in local
recipient table
fetchmail: SMTP error: 450 <nonexist@our_site.de>: User unknown in local
recipient table

my .fetchmailrc:
----------------------
poll myprovider
no dns
localdomains our_site.de
protocol pop3
username dontsay
password aword
is * here
postconnect "/usr/sbin/sendmail -q"
fetchall
forcecr

output from postconf -n:
-----------------------
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
command_directory = /usr/local/sbin
config_directory = /usr/local/etc/postfix
content_filter = vscan:
daemon_directory = /usr/local/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
defer_transports = smtp
luser_relay = special_user
mail_owner = postfix
mailbox_command = /usr/local/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailq_path = /usr/local/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/local/man
message_size_limit = 5242880
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, our_site.de
mydomain = my-domain
myhostname = host.my-domain
myorigin = our_site.de
newaliases_path = /usr/local/bin/newaliases
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = no
relayhost = 62.245.150.229
sample_directory = /usr/local/etc/postfix
sendmail_path = /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
setgid_group = maildrop
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450


Any tipps? Thanks in advance!

I don't know how it's possible to get emails via fetchmail that aren't
adressed to/for your system. Fetchmail polls emails from defined
accounts and every accounts "points" (in your fetchmail-conf) to a local
user. So...?!??!

Or did I get you wrong?

Hi,
sorry, i forgot to tell you that we use a so called multidrop mailbox.
"evererything@our_site.de" is fetched and should be delivered.

Hi,
the problem is solved: Had to delete
"unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450"
from main.cf.

Thanks,
