That's  only true if you don't make your backup spoolers aware of your
userbase.  Best  practices  dictate  the  rejection  of  users  at the
earliest  possible  point,  which  means  _never_  processing mail for
unknown  users  (this prescription covers both local catchall 'nobody'
aliases and backup servers).
