If you're using James 2.3.0 open config.xml

You will find the following configuration snippet:

  <!-- Is the recipient is for a local account, deliver it locally -->
  <mailet match="RecipientIsLocal" class="LocalDelivery"/>

  <!-- If the host is handled by this server and it did not get -->
  <!-- locally delivered, this is an invalid recipient -->
  <mailet match="HostIsLocal" class="ToProcessor">
     <processor> local-address-error </processor>
     <notice>550 - Requested action not taken: no such user here</notice>
  </mailet>

As you can see if the RecipientIsLocal it is delivered using 
LocalDelivery, otherwise if the HostIsLocal (but the recipient does not 
exists, otherwise it would have stopped before) it send it to the 
local-address-error processor.

Then you go to the processor local-address-error:

<processor name="local-address-error">

There you decide using mailets what to do with mail destinated to 
unknown users.

  <mailet match="All" class="ToRepository">
     <repositoryPath> file://var/mail/myuser/</repositoryPath>
     <!-- An alternative database repository example follows. -->
     <!--
     <repositoryPath> db://maildb/inbox/myuser </repositoryPath>
     -->
  </mailet>

There are many other ways to do the same, but I think this is the easiest.
