Hi, I'm trying to set up simple bounce handling in Postfix. I was hoping not to need/want VERP, but simply trying to get Postfix to call a script with the failed (bounced/delayed) RCPT TO address, instead of sending a bounce e-mail with that bounced address in the body. (Current version is 3.1.0-3ubuntu0.3, from Ubuntu 16.04).
So far, I've tried: main.cf: notify_classes = bounce bounce_notice_recipient = bouncehand...@example.com transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport_maps master.cf: bouncehandler unix - n n - - pipe flags=FRq user=bouncehandler argv=/usr/local/bin/postfix-bounce-handler.sh --sender ${sender} --recipient ${recipient} transport_maps: bouncehand...@example.com bouncehandler: /usr/local/bin/postfix-bounce-handler.sh #!/bin/bash debug_file="/tmp/bouncelog.txt" datestamp=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H:%M) echo "[$datestamp] $@" >> "$debug_file" But, the only output I seem to get, is from the double bounce, and not the bounced address: [20181130-17:43] --sender double-bou...@mailserver.example.com --recipient bouncehand...@example.com Postfix knows exactly which address failed, because it includes it in the mail body of bounce notices: <a...@example.com>: host ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM[2a00:1450:4013:c00::1b] said: 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try 550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or 550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces.

Or, am I going to have to parse that message (that comes in on std-in)? Regards, Wiebe
