THIS WAS MAIL FOR webmas...@aus-city.com.
The postmaster address on every domain exists but does not accept
mail
it will bounce.
This was mail for WEBMASTER, now being returned to the sender.
If you have a non-functional postmaster address, that is sufficient
grounds for getting your entire domains blacklisted.

Wietse,
I do appreciate the help but feel I am stuck in a catch 22.
Firstly I am no expert in configuring postfix I just know enough to
get by.
Is there anything in those examples that stands out as fake I can
screen in someway - the header_checks of which I have no idea how to
use, I don't want to experiment with rules that will trash real emails
it's a production server.
Are bounce emails filtered the same as all target addresses? If not
how can you apply same rules?
Failing that as then it looks impossible to fix so is there a command
in postfix to selectively delete queued emails from bounce?I can have
cron do this.
Or can I force spamassassin as no doubt it will delete them as Viagra
and such crap in the body is killed off immediately.
It still confuses me why qmail does not do this, I never saw these so
they were being filtered out / deleted. All I can think is all mail
incoming is piped through spamassassin?
Also I am not alone other plesk users that swapped to postfix now have
the same issue 'spam bounce emails'. Postfix is a new option in plesk
now.
Thanks!
