i found the disabled feature in postfixadmin as nonsense
a user/mailbox/alias should exist or not, so i told my users not to use
this feature
anyway postfix does its job right, in my case it bounces
incomming mail to inactive set mailboxes, but i didnt investigate
in more tests about it, perhaps there may be chances to change the
failure behave ( giving other failure messages ), but i dont think this
is usefull
