I'm trying to intercept all hard bounced back e-mail and send it to a 
script/program for processing
internally.  I wish to prevent all notification of bounces to the person that 
sent the e-mail.

I had an idea, and I'm trying to make it work.  Can I just change the master.cf 
and change bounce to go to a
pipe?  Like this:
bounce    unix  -       -       n       -       0       pipe
  flags=DORhu user=root argv=/etc/postfix/dump_bounce.sh

I keep getting this error though:
postfix/pipe[9736]: fatal: service bounce requires privileged operation

I was trying different users besides root, but even root does not work.
