Incorrect. By default, Postfix does not send postaster notification
for rejected mail.

The default setting is:

notify_classes = resource, software

You have added 'bounce' to that list. It you don't want such email,
then don't set notify_classes to send such email.

Thanks Wietse, that takes me back to my first post in this thread: 'I want
to turn off the the bounce error class to reduce clutter in my postmaster
mailbox, but don't want to miss something important.' I now infer from its
default setting that there is nothing important generated by the bounce
error class.

agreed. The 2bounce may be what you consider important - messages from your
clients sent to non-existent addresses, from non-existent addresses (your
clients spamming or misconfigured addresses)

at the start you can get deluged by those too, but it's much easier to stop.
