This is finally useful. Please examine your logs closely. The bounce is
from the "local" delivery agent, not from "smtpd". So local_recipient_maps
is not the issue. Delivery for the domain is being passed to the "local"
delivery agent. The local delivery agent does deliver to non-shell users
(what uid should the mailbox belong to? what user should pipes in .forward
files run as? ...)

What delivery agent are you expecting to use?

Your choices are:

        virtual - Postfix virtual delivery agent
        maildrop - Courier delivery agent
        deliver - Cyrus delivery agent
        whatever comes with your POP server?
        ...

Each of these delivery agents has its own database format. Set up the
appropriate transport table entries (or redefine local_transport) and
configure any necessary delivery agent tables.

As I said the first time, the answer depends on your choice of delivery
agent which ties into your choice of POP/IMAP server.
