Hi,

OK, firstly, I'm *very* new to postfix, so apologies in advance for a
newbie question, but I've got a server set up using Postfix and we're
trying to control where the failed/undeliverable email notification is
sent.

Any , pointing in the right direction very much appreciated,

Tc.

The /etc/postfix/main.cf file settings related to bounces and errors
are described in the Postfix online manual pages:

man 8 bounce
man 5 postconf

I don't think there are any configs related to notifications to the sender address,
but there are several regarding the notifications sent to postmaster.

The "notify_classes" parameter defines what type notifications are sent
to the postmaster.

And these parameters are used to send that email to other than the default
"postmaster" address:


bounce_notice_recipient
2bounce_notice_recipient
delay_notice_recipient
error_notice_recipient

Is this what you are looking for, or something else ?

This is on the right track. I guess we can add a secondary recipient
for the failure emails (which I guess is what this will do).

What I'd *really* like to do is be able to change it at runtime, but
don't know if this is possible.

I believe they are used to specify a single recipient address other than
"postmaster". Then if you wanted multiple recipients, expand that one
out in the aliases file to multiple recipients.

I don't understand what you mean by "able to change it at runtime". These configs
are done in the main.cf file, which is read when Postfix starts, and can be re-read
while Postfix is running. They aren't compiled in permanently or anything.
