It works exactly as Wietse pointed out. Set bounce_size_limit high
enough and you get the full original message appended.

Hi List,
searching the manual pages, the Internet and the postfix-users archives
gave me no answer to my question, so I post it here.
We have an application that sends out emails with attachments. These
attachments contain specific data not contained in the email body
accompanying the attachment. These emails are sent out by a mail server
running postfix.
What I would like to do is upon hard bounce of the message, to include
the full original message, including attachment.
man 5 bounce does not tell me how to do that, but man 5 postconf
tells me:
[...]
bounce_size_limit (default: 50000)
?????? The maximal amount of original message text that is sent in a
non-delivery notification.
?????? Specify a byte count.? A? message? is returned? as either
message/rfc822 (the complete
?????? original) or as text/rfc822-headers (the headers only).
[...]
When testing, I always get the headers only with a bounce. How do I get
the full message sent with the bounce?
Specify a large enough bounce_size_limit.
If you disagree, provide concrete evidence:
- "postconf -n" evidence that the bounce_size_limit is set to some
value X.
- logfile evidence that Postfix receives a message of size Y less
than X.
- logfile evidence that Postfix returns a smaller message than Y to
the sender.
