<b>NAME</b>
bounce - Postfix message bounce or defer daemon
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>bounce</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The <b>bounce</b> daemon maintains per-message log files with
non-delivery status information. Each log file is named
after the queue file that it corresponds to, and is kept
in a queue subdirectory named after the service name in
the <b>master.cf</b> file (either <b>bounce</b> or <b>defer</b>). This program
expects to be run from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager.
The <b>bounce</b> daemon processes two types of service requests:
<b>o</b> Append a recipient status record to a per-message
log file.
<b>o</b> Post a bounce message, with a copy of a log file
and of the corresponding message. When the bounce
is posted successfully, the log file is deleted.
The software does a best effort to notify the sender that
there was a problem. A notification is sent even when the
log file or original message cannot be read.
Optionally, a client can request that the per-message log
file be deleted when the requested operation fails. This
is used by clients that cannot retry transactions by them-
selves, and that depend on retry logic in their own
client.
<b>STANDARDS</b>
<a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html">RFC 822</a> (ARPA Internet Text Messages)
<a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1894.html">RFC 1894</a> (Delivery Status Notifications)
<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8).
<b>BUGS</b>
The log files use an ad-hoc, unstructured format. This
will have to change in order to easily support standard
delivery status notifications.
