For some reason, if a local user sends mail to another local user who
doesn't exist, my Postfix installation doesn't seem to notify the sender
of the error, nor deliver a bounce message to the sender.
Log snippet of what I am talking about:

I am russ...@example.com. You can see that postfix notices that the user
does not exist. However, I never get a message about it! No popup, no
bounce message, nothing. This occurs on both Thunderbird and Windows
Mail. Furthormore, Procmail's procmail.log also has no entries about any
bounce message being delivered, so I know that the message isn't getting
sneaked off to root or somewhere else it shouldn't be going.
On my older, production Exim server, ths popup occurs immediately.
Any ideas? Appreciate the help.
