I'm building a spam filtering appliance using Postfix. We will be making every effort to reject invalid recipient addresses at SMTP time, but since we will not always be made aware when an email box on a final destination server is no longer valid, we'd like to disable all bouncing after SMTP time. I saw one person suggest disabling the bounce service in /etc/master.cf...which does disable bouncing, but the logs now show the following error: "status=deferred (bounce or trace service failure)"
What is the correct way to disable bounces? Thanks, Curtis
