Though now I'm getting this error after sending bounce to pipe:
Mar 20 12:41:54 mail-dr postfix/pipe[10163]: warning: unexpected attribute 
nrequest from bounce socket
(expecting: flags)
Mar 20 12:41:54 mail-dr postfix/pipe[10163]: warning: deliver_request_get: 
error receiving common attributes
Mar 20 12:41:54 mail-dr postfix/qmgr[10151]: 9F2AF28E134: removed
