[ Fourth try to send this message.  Hopefully this one will get through
  and hopefully the other ones won't. ]
[ BTW, the policy of "silently discard email from non-subscribed
  addresses"of postfix-users is really obnoxious. ]

I'm using Postfix to send email (via a relayhost) from my laptop (never
to receive any) running Debian testing.

Occasionally, a config problem makes my relayhost reject my outgoing
mail.  So I get a message in /var/log/mail.log saying something that
includes "status=bounced" with an explanation from my relayhost along
the lines of "invalid host name in envelope-from" or something.

Now, I usually know how to fix those config errors, but what I don't
know is how to recover those messages: where does Postfix stash them
after getting the rejection?

PS: Seeing now how postfix-users is happy to drop email on the floor,
I'm starting the feel like maybe Postfix will also be happy to silently
drop email on the floor, although that would make me wonder why it'd go
through so much trouble to fsync things to stable storage, then.
