marcnino Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 (edited) Hey all, I'm currently running Mandrake 10 Cooker, and I have a small Postfix problem. If I send mail to someone and it gets bounced (if I type in the wrong address, for example), the bounced message goes into /var/spool/postfix. However, a copy of the bounced message doesn't get sent to my e-mail client (KMail). Therefore, I don't know if a message gets bounced unless I check /var/spool/postfix. Does anyone know how to get postfix to send the bounced message to my e-mail client? I tried digging through the config files a bit, but I couldn't spot anything. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

wrenhunt Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 If it's getting bounced to user 'postfix' and you always want it to go to you, setup an alias in the /etc/postfix/aliases file. If you want it bounced to the actual sender of the flubbed message then try setting soft-bounce=yes (I think that's the parameter) in your main.cf file.

marcnino Posted June 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Thanks for the reply, Wren. Adding the alias did the trick... it's bouncing to my mail client now. Thanks! By the way, I tried the soft_bounce option, and all that did was put the bounced messages in a queue to be retried later... it didn't actually bounce the mail to the proper user. Thanks again!
