Doing more testing, I've discovered that all of my bounces are being forwarded to my Imail server instead of being delivered directly by the = mail exchangers. I have roughly 18,000 domains on my Imail server and do not have them included in relay_domains, instead using permit_mx_backup. = Could this be my problem?
