I think I'm having a problem (unless I just don't understand how this 
works) ...

I sent a few outgoing emails, and watched /var/log/mail/info as they went out.

Three of them got errors from the remote SMTP server about invalid users, 
or a user was over the quota.

I never received a bounce email for the three that failed.

In qmail/queue/bounce, there is a file containing three entries (one for 
each failed message), so it appears that qmail knows these SHOULD be bounced.

Everything else in qmail is working for me - I can send/receive email with 
no problem.  I don't think it's a problem where qmail it trying to deliver 
the bounce messages - there's nothing in the logs like that at all.

Could someone explain how the bounce process works, what this file in 
qmail/queue/bounce is, and what I may be missing here?

Thanks,

Robert
