hello folks! We have a social network which has the ability of messaging between users. this users have the option, to fw this system messages to their personal email address. Since the number of users is pretty big, and smoetimes their email servers are not working (or their email addreses are wrong) we get loads of bounce emails.
i would like to catch the bounce (which at the momment is going to postmaster in our domain) , parse, check who's email was bounced and warn him using our system messages so he updates his email. my initial appraoch was to use a pipe for the bounce transport...but it's not really working. master.cf: bounce unix - n n - 10 pipe -v user=postfix argv=/etc/postfix/bounce.pl bounce.pl: it's a quick test script, nothing fancy. it simply reads standard input and checks for "From:" field to then put it on a log. if I test the sript with an email (bounce.pl < mail_test) works like a champ! as you can see i set the debug to see what was going on .. the log doesnt really tell me much! Test sending an email and receving a bounce to see if i can manage it: Nov 15 18:29:52 home postfix/smtp[3156]: C991427F21: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=177, delays=176/0.19/0.22/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found.
