	Are you sure?  Check this out:
rcpt to: JeffGus at XXXXXXXXXXXX.COM
250 Ok

	But the message *will* bounce as soon as it tried to deliver it.  
That's why I think it's inconsistent.  Postfix thinks it's fine, but cyrus
lmtp doesn't.  The rcpt to: should match the actual delivery, shouldn't
it?  For example, if I type a invalid username at domain.com, postfix
responds with a 450 user unknown error.

	I'll look into it.  I figure there is probably a way to do it.  It 
just seems to me that lmtp shouldn't care if the smtp server doesn't.
