      I've recently tried to put SRS into work for all forwarded
return-paths from my MX servers and have ran into the problem that if I
try to do a CBV it fails with "550 5.1.1 User unknown". 

The SRS0 addresses should not receive mail with a non-empty
reverse-path. They should only ever receive bounces.

Could it be that your system is rejecting mail with non-empty
reverse-path with the message you quote above ("550 5.1.1 User
unknown")?

And could it also be that your CBV is using a non-empty MAIL FROM:
address, so it doesn't look like a bounce, and is getting rejected
accordingly?

There's actually quite a few people doing buggy CBV with non-empty
reverse-path. Most of them seem to use postmaster@, so I've made my
implementation of SRS accept mail from postmaster@ to the SRS0 addresses
too.
