So to confirm, relay -o soft_bounce=yes in master.cf will reduce any 5xx replies it receives from the exchange server to 4xx? > > > 4) Magically catch the accepted mail that bounces after completed > > transaction (mailbox is full primarily.

But I'd like to have a log mailed to them (a seperate account that's not touched by exchange) via cron, so they can see subjects and senders, so I will probably create a 'backup' service in master.cf that does all the stuff. It would be equivalent to an alias like this: @example.com localmailbox, |logthis, relay:[mx2.example.com] Either way, thanks for your insights, Victor. -- Melvyn Sopacua
