Hi, I try to send an email to a non-existence domain, e.g: nou...@a-non-existing-domain.com the address should be bounced, and it goes to file://var/mail/address-error/ however, it doesn't send a notification email to the bounce address (return path), which I expect it would be below are the server log, it seems that it tried to send to the return path, but I can't get it eventually.

I get a work around to write a program to parse the files in file://var/mail/address-error/ and handle the bounce message in the program. Would anybody getting a method to let the bounce message sending to the bounce address automatically? Thank you.
