The whole point of this exercise for me is to just intercept a bounce
back and process it internally instead
of bouncing it back to the person that originally sent the mail. The
best way seems to be to use VERP. Is
there something I'm missing or a different way to go about doing
this. Maybe pass all initial bounces through
procmail or something to that affect?

Internally generated bounces don't go through procmail or anything,
they're just delivered to the original sender address.
Maybe it would be better if you describe the actual problem you're
trying to solve rather than asking how to implement a possible solution.

I'm trying to intercept all hard bounced back e-mail and send it to a
script/program for processing
internally. I wish to prevent all notification of bounces to the person that
sent the e-mail.
I had an idea, and I'm trying to make it work. Can I just change the master.cf
and change bounce to go to a
pipe? Like this:
bounce unix - - n - 0 pipe
flags=DORhu user=root argv=/etc/postfix/dump_bounce.sh
I keep getting this error though:
postfix/pipe[9736]: fatal: service bounce requires privileged operation
I was trying different users besides root, but even root does not work.
Chris
I figured out that problem by adding a "n" to the unpriv column.

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

(expecting: flags)
Mar 20 12:41:54 mail-dr postfix/pipe[10163]: warning: deliver_request_get:

Sure. You just took out Postfix's ability to handle bouncing messages
properly. Have you looked at the man page for bounce(8) to see what its
purpose is and all it does?
