I think the easiest way would be to turn off the catch-all in the GUI
and configure the "no such user" addresses in the custom section of the
virtualusertable manually followed by the catchall. IIRC, it checks in
order from top to bottom which is why certain addresses like postmaster,
nobody, etc. still follow what is specified there.

e.g.
whatever@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx[tab]error:nouser No such user here
whatever2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx[tab]error:nouser No such user here
@www.sample.net[tab]username
