active corrupt deferred hold maildrop pid
private saved bounce defer flush incoming milter

what is defer and deferred? can i check bounced messages in any of the
folders above?
help appreciated
It's unclear what you're asking for...
Postfix doesn't store bounced messages after they have been
delivered.
Bounces waiting delivery are "normal" messages and will be in
the active, defer or hold queue as appropriate.
Messages in the queue may be viewed with the "postcat"
command. Generally:
# postcat -q QUEUEID
http://www.postfix.org/postcat.1.html
The text postfix uses when sending a bounce message may be
changed by following the instructions here:
http://www.postfix.org/bounce.5.html
If this doesn't help, please rephrase your question.
