I don't understand-- can't your email generators use an evelope "mail from" that tags that message to a particular mail campaign, that is unique, and not at all what the header "From:" header is? Ie: blahblahblah=customer=domain....@bounce.you.org As long as "blahblahblah" is a key to a recipient of a mail campaign owned by the account custo...@domain.com, then you can track your hard bounces this way. Just deliver to an application that parses the Return-Path (or whatever) and match it up against your db backend. Maybe I'm missing something, but this doesn't seem like a postfix question, but rather something for your company's application to address.
