Re: lmtp should give temporary failure for mailbox unknown

I have seen this behavior. It happens when a mail account exists in authentication (ie mysql) but when the mailbox doesn't exist yet.

Are you using autocreate inbox? If so, are you sure that the inbox exists for these mailboxes prior to the message delivery? Or you could enable "createonpost" (I recommend against this for oh-so-many reasons, but YMMV)

It would also be interesting to find out why you get the 550 error. I'm
not using lmtp over tcp but only local via socket and I have never seen a
550 error.

  When actually the mailbox is valid. The same mail sent again reaches
the mailbox without problems. The cyrus server is highly loaded most of
the time.
