email-bounces

Postfix serves for my virtual domains and works fine. But for one of my domains: - it bounces mails targeted at [email protected] - it rejects mails targeted at [email protected]

problem is, [email protected] does not exist either.

here is my postconf

why does it bounce [email protected], and reject other non existing mails?

Thanks.
