I'm trying to get Postfix to send its bounce notices to a different
address than "postmaster", so I configured

notify_classes = resource, software, bounce, 2bounce
bounce_notice_recipient = bou...@example.com
2bounce_notice_recipient = bou...@example.com
error_notice_recipient = bou...@example.com

This DOES NOT configure delivery of STANDARD DELIVERY STATUS
NOTIFICATIONS TO THE ENVELOPE SENDER.

That is exactly what I'm trying to do. Senders get their normal bounce message, as they should. But postmaster should get a copy of those, so that we can keep an eye on how things are going.

It is my understanding that the bit of config I posted should change the destination for those copies, but they're still going to "postmaster", which means they end up in the mailbox I've configured for more urgent stuff.

as I understand it, bounce_notice_recipient send copies of mail that postfix
could not deliver.

The "recipient address rejected: user unknown in virtual alias table"
messages are mail that postfix refused to accept, so there's nothing to
deliver.

you could set smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no and remove 
reject_unlisted_recipient
from smtpd_recipient_restrictions.

however, accepting mail to nonexistent local addresses and sending bounces can
result into being listed in DNS blocklists.

I recommmend refusing those mails and solve reason why mails to nonexistent
addresses are sent to you.
