Hello Witse, I really don't want to get on your nerves but as far as I understand using the standardized bounce messages from Postfix to track bounces is not reliable since it is sometimes sent from the receiving MTA whose message structure I cannot influence. If I am wrong then it would facilitate my matter a lot. I would only have to catch the bounce message (and maybe parse it) but from what I have seen, bounce messages may differ a lot and information and structure and are arriving together with other messages such as auto responders, etc. which makes parsing much more difficult than just parsing the mail.log Wietse, I really appreciate your patience with my amateurish questions. Thanks, Steffen
