All, I'm really pretty desperate over this issue. When an email for two or more local recipients is recieved, the message is delivered to the appropriate users, but a bounce message is also sent to the sender stating "Mailbox does not exist". After this happens, all user mailboxes are rendered useless. Any mail to any local user is then rejected with "Mailbox does not exist". I can reactivate the mailboxes by a simple "postfix reload", but this is obvioulsy not a permanent solution. This is a huge issue, especially since I need to implement Majordomo (which of course is useless unless it can send to multiple users). Another issue, of equal or greater value, is that postfix will not deliver to any aliases. Again, a bounce message is sent t the sender that says "Mailbox does not exist". IMHO, these two errors are related. The following is all the information I felt was of consequence to this issue....
