Hi all, I'm using Postfix 2.9.6 in Debian Wheezy.
My problem is: if I send an email to some invalid address of another domain, the bounce returned by Postfix does NOT contain the original invalid recipient address. For example, the bounce is something like the following for gmail recipients: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This is the mail system at host <myhostname> I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster. If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message. The mail system : host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.136.27] said: 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try 550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or 550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces. Learn more at 550 5.1.1 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=<some url xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - gsmtp (in reply to RCPT TO command) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Therefore, the sender can't figure out what has been the original recipient. For some recipient domains, like Yahoo, the invalid address mentioned in the SMTP dialog, which also reflected in the bounce mail. By the way, what's wrong with my Postfix that does NOT mention the invalid address and just tells: "could not be delivered to one or more recipients" ? Thank you all for your help.
