If it is not 550 on your system, somebody altered it from the default. (I don't see how an undeliverable address could be anything but a permanent error) soft_bounce is set to yes by default (so that you can correct your config before putting it into production). soft_bounce is set to NO by default. Proof: execute postconf -d soft_bounce on your system, -- -d shows the default values. Any distribution that ships with soft_bounce=yes is broken. Because people often does not pay enough attention and leaves the default at it, which results in a broken postfix install. Note that postfix at least tries to work out of the box. /mjt
Re: Postfix and Google Apps
OK this is getting off track and it's probably due to the way I started the thread so let me start over. Currently with my postfix setup when the newsletter is sent and an account on the domain set up in google apps is on the list they do not get the email at google apps as postfix is trying to deliver that locally. With Exim and Google Apps there is a way to allow functionality like I am asking for using the smarthosts entry in the exim config. How can I do this with Postfix? Thanks!

If you want a separate mail system, you can set up a subdomain for your maillists, eg. lists.example.com, with an MX pointing to your postfix server. > > With Exim I believe it is with a smarthost entry.

Cameron It's "off track" because you don't describe what problem you're trying to solve. So what are you asking for? If you want ALL mail for ALL domains delivered through google, use the relayhost setting in postfix. This is what some other mailers call a smarthost. Do not list your own domain anywhere in postfix. If you want your own domain delivered to google and other domains delivered directly, your domain should be configured as a relay_domain and NOT listed in mydestination. If you need a subset of your local accounts delivered to google apps, use a transport_maps entry to direct those accounts to google. http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html -- Noel Jones

To receive your newsletter replies on your Postfix box, your newsletter reply-to address must resolve to your Postfix box. Options: - Change the newsletter reply-to address to a new domain name (perhaps a subdomain of the managed domain) and set its MX record to your Postfix box. - Stop using Google apps for this domain, and change the MX record for the domain to your Postfix box.
