Hi,

I would disable in my postfix installation the sending of bounce mail.

I try to change my master.cf in this way:

bounce unix - n n - 0 pipe -vv
user=mail flags=Rq argv=/etc/postfix/bounce.sh


and the script bounce.sh is:

# cat /etc/postfix/bounce.sh
#!/bin/bash
cat > /dev/null
exit 0


It works, but in my maillog i have:
May 26 17:50:19 mmt-l-fl11-prv postfix/pipe[23380]: bounce socket:
wanted attribute: flags
May 26 17:50:19 mmt-l-fl11-prv postfix/pipe[23380]:
vstream_buf_get_ready: fd 9 got 406
May 26 17:50:19 mmt-l-fl11-prv postfix/pipe[23380]: input attribute
name: nrequest
May 26 17:50:19 mmt-l-fl11-prv postfix/pipe[23380]: warning: unexpected
attribute nrequest in input from bounce socket
May 26 17:50:19 mmt-l-fl11-prv postfix/pipe[23380]: warning:
deliver_request_get: error receiving common attributes
May 26 17:50:19 mmt-l-fl11-prv postfix/pipe[23380]:
deliver_request_final: send: "" -1

Can you point me where is the problem?

And, Is there another way to disable bounce notification?

Solve the right problem; don't accept mail you can't deliver.

I can't do it, because my antispam server return 550 to my postfix that
is a MX record of my domain, but my postfix, can only receive connection
from 25, it doesn't do connection to port 25, because the firewall drop
this connection.

Yes, you can, you just need to learn how.

Never reject mail once you've accepted it for final delivery. Period.
Anything else is bad design.

The problem apparently is you have a content (antispam) filter that is
rejecting mail *after* it has been accepted for final delivery. Don't do
that. Period.

Either change it to a before queue content filter - which can be a
problem on high volume systems - or don't reject it from your anti-spam
filter, tag+deliver it.
