Please *understand* how Postfix works. Please understand the difference
between local and virtual users, and catchall accounts.
Pasting from the Postfix documentation for luser_relay:
# The luser_relay parameter specifies an optional destination address
# for unknown recipients. By default, mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# and [EMAIL PROTECTED] is returned as undeliverable.
#
# The following expansions are done on luser_relay: $user (recipient
# username), $shell (recipient shell), $home (recipient home directory),
# $recipient (full recipient address), $extension (recipient address
# extension), $domain (recipient domain), $local (entire recipient
# localpart), $recipient_delimiter. Specify ${name?value} or
# ${name:value} to expand value only when $name does (does not) exist.
#
# luser_relay works only for the default Postfix local delivery agent.
#
# NOTE: if you use this feature for accounts not in the UNIX password
# file, then you must specify "local_recipient_maps =" (i.e. empty) in
# the main.cf file, otherwise the SMTP server will reject mail for
# non-UNIX accounts with "User unknown in local recipient table".
#
#luser_relay = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#luser_relay = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#luser_relay = admin+$local
-------END PASTE------
Note that luser_relay specifies a single local address.
^^^^^^^^
The problem is that these accounts are not local.

luser_relay is wrong. Just plain wrong.
