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 configures delivery of POSTMASTER COPIES OF DELIVERY STATUS
NOTIFICATIONS (and other errors).
This DOES NOT configure delivery of STANDARD DELIVERY STATUS
NOTIFICATIONS TO THE ENVELOPE SENDER.

Short answer: the Postfix SMTP daemon (and SMTP client) send session
transcripts to $error_notice_recipient. That might be as promised
for policy, resource, software or protocol errors, but unexpected
for for rejected recipients. However, the SMTP client does not email
transcripts for bounces when notify_classes includes 'bounce' or
'2bounce'.
Another limitation is that these programs can send only one transcript,
so if a session has more than one kind of error, and those errors have
different notification recipients, then only one would get the notice.

Thanks for clarifying. I think my best option then is to remove the
bounce and 2bounce from the notify_classes and let something like
Grafana watch the logs.
Kind regards,
Hans
