Sending bounce reports to a specified email address?
Is it possible to have Postfix send all bounce reports to a specified email address instead of to the sender of the bounced email? I have a situation in which my primary MX's do not allow back scatter so my bounce reports are never received. Thanks!

peng...@sepserver.net: Is it possible to have Postfix send all bounce reports to a specified email address instead of to the sender of the bounced email? I have a situation in which my primary MX's do not allow back scatter so my bounce reports are never received. As described in RFC 5321: It is possible for the mailbox in the return path to be different from the actual sender's mailbox, for example, if error responses are to be delivered to a special error handling mailbox rather than to the message sender. When mailing lists are involved, this arrangement is common and useful as a means of directing errors to the list maintainer rather than the message originator. The return path is specified with the SMTP MAIL FROM command, and with the Postfix sendmail -f command-line option. If you use PHP, see the discussion of additional_parameters in the manpage for the mail function. Wietse

Still seems rather vague to me, but the answer is as in all matters backscattery: do not accept mail that you cannot deliver. Perhaps you're needing to decommission this third MX host. At very least you must set up a means to validate recipients for the domain[s] in question. http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html#relay_domain_class http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relay_recipient_maps A commonly-chosed alternative is recipient verification: http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html#recipient http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#reject_unverified_recipient -- Offlist mail to this address is discarded unless /dev/rob0 or not-spam is in Subject: header
