If a message is undeliverable, it bounces to the sender. If you
don't want it to bounce to the sender, make sure to deliver it
(report success to Postfix).
Your script needs to never fail for any reason other than transient
resource issues (in that case exit with an exit code of EX_TEMPFAIL
aka 75) or because the message is permanently undeliverable in
which case exit with one of:
#define EX_DATAERR 65 /* data format error */
#define EX_NOUSER 67 /* addressee unknown */
#define EX_NOHOST 68 /* host name unknown */
#define EX_UNAVAILABLE 69 /* service unavailable */
If your script is buggy, fix it so it is bug-free. If that's too
difficult, and you want to queue messages in the hope that the bug
is fixed, catch ang log low-level errors and then exit with EX_TEMPFAIL.
