 |
|
Does anyone know of a way to have postfix send the bounce back email from a failed message to root's mailbox?
right now I have the following main.cf lines set to blank:
2bounce_notice_recipient =
bounce_notice_recipient =
delay_notice_recipient =
error_notice_recipient =
empty_address_recipient =
This leaves the email in the maildrop folder. If I set it to root it goes to the original sending user. In alias I have:
MAILER-DAEMON: root
root: postfix
(contents snipped to only show roots alias info)
I haven't tried creating a new user to put in the alias file and on those lines above in my main.cf but I think I will try that next.
Basically the bounceback emails won't be read by anyone the way I am using it right now but I don't want to lose them because I need that documentation for troubleshooting when an email is not recieved. |

Hmmm...
Mine works without any of those configs in main.cf
| $ cat /etc/mail/aliases: | MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: root
...
root: ME
... |
Please post master.cf  |

Maybe so, here is mine | Code: | # maildrop. See the Postfix MAILDROP_README file for details.
# Also specify in main.cf: maildrop_destination_recipient_limit=1
#
#maildrop unix - n n - - pipe
# flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient}

As you can see it's commented here, and all my mail goes where it should. But probably my whole mail setup is most likely different than yours. Kolabd - Postfix - Cyrus-Imap, etc...  |
