That description is incorrect. A double-bounce means means that Postfix 
could not send a delivery status notification. You need to fix that 
problem first.

The double-bounce address is completed with $myhostname, to make
it valid for the machine from which it originates. If delivery of
that message fails it MUST BE DISCARDED, otherwise undeliverable
mail may keep looping indefinitely.

These messages should not be sent to a remote destination. If you
must send it offsite, use canonical maps; I take no responsibility 
if your change causes bounces to keep looping between systems.
