The other two do receive the message. However, I have listed
each user 
on a separate line as a "To:", and other mail
systems have pointed out 
the one offending address, whereas dbmail/postfix seems to
throw the 
whole thing back at me requiring me to manually do a binary
chop type 
algorithm to narrow down to the offending address.

  I've not used lmtp deliver yet, but I believe it can do a
little better
error reporting per-recipient.  You might try setting your
transport's
destination_recipient_limit to 1, too, so every recipient
gets a seperate
message delivery from postfix (not quite as efficient, but
might resolve
your issue).
