I created a fake email address and testing on postfix about how did it bounce back or report any error on any invalid email address. It seemed the postfix just deferred the message.
Here is setup on main.cf maximal_backoff_time = 4h maximal_queue_lifetime = 8h delay_notice_recipient = postmaster error_notice_recipient = postmaster Here is the log file: Oct 15 03:27:38 postfixmailer postfix/smtp[11216]: 1AF94249A8A: to=<donotrep...@donotreply.us>, relay=none, delay=46316, delays=46296/0.24/20/0, dsn=4.4.3, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=donotreply.us type=MX: Host not found, try again) Thanks.
