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. Learn more at 550 5.1.1
https://support.google.com/mail/?p=NoSuchUser a12si2525633edk.106 - gsmtp
(in reply to RCPT TO command)
So instead of sending that e-mail, can I call the script with that address?
Or, am I going to have to parse that message (that comes in on std-in)?
Regards,
Wiebe
