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.
