With that info I have worked out (using a subtle difference in the 'from' address in my configuration) which error messages are due to '2bounce' error class and which ones are from other classes (most likely 'bounce'). IMO it would be helpful if Postfix added a header to any mail triggered by an error identifying what error class(es) triggered it, or would this break some RFC?
