Based on my reading, I think that DBMail should not generate bounces at all. Rather, appropriate temporary-failure and permanent-failure return codes should come from dbmail-smtp and DSN codes from dbmail-lmtpd, along with additional descriptive text in both cases, and the MTA will do the rest.
If this is the case, I can remove the bounce call from pipe.c right now; I'm working on refining the delivery chain to produce appropriate error codes for various failure conditions. Making sure to emit bounce codes for situations which would have called the bounce() function won't be too hard.
