Postifx and virtual users (user unknown)

[redhatdude at bellsouth.net]

Hey Alexander,
I did something that I don't know if it's right, but it worked.
I uncommented the line local_recipient_maps =  and left it blank. Now  
all the emails to my IMAP account get passed through to cyrus. I can  
receive email without a problem. Now, I'm sure that what I did was  
not good. This at least gives a clue as to where the problem lies. So  
what should I do to fix the problem of Postifix not recognizing my  
IMAP users?

Hehe, I just noticed that I can even email saddam- 
hussein at mydomain.com and Postfix will not reject it and process it,
I'm screwed.

Thanks
EJ
