Hi there!

Currently I am looking for a way to implement a bounce handler and I would
like some 'best practices' advice. I have very little experience in using
postfix but I came up with some ideas and want to get some comments on
those.

An application sends out a bunch of e-mails with a varying return path
(VERP) of the form bounce-some_identif...@mydomain.tld where
some_identifier is a unique and random string. My idea is to have a python
bouncehandler script that will parse all bounces and notify the application
that certain e-mails did not arrive at their destination.
why using a bouncehandler ? you just have to parse the log file to find out which VERP had been bounced .... you may have to match differents lines with the id but it's working quite well, without interfering with the postfix work ...
