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 <a href="master.5.html"><b>master.cf</b></a> file (either <b>bounce</b>, <b>defer</b> or <b>trace</b>). + This program expects to be run from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager. + + The <a href="bounce.8.html"><b>bounce</b>(8)</a> daemon processes two types of service requests: + + <b>o</b> Append a recipient (non-)delivery status record to a per-message + log file. + + <b>o</b> Enqueue a delivery status notification message, with a copy of a + per-message log file and of the corresponding message. When the + delivery status notification message is enqueued successfully, + the per-message log file is deleted. + + The software does a best notification effort. A non-delivery notifica- + tion is sent even when the log file or the original message cannot be + read. + + Optionally, a bounce (defer, trace) 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 themselves, + and that depend on retry logic in their own client. + +<b>STANDARDS</b> + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822">RFC 822</a> (ARPA Internet Text Messages) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045">RFC 2045</a> (Format of Internet Message Bodies) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822">RFC 2822</a> (Internet Message Format) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3462">RFC 3462</a> (Delivery Status Notifications) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3464">RFC 3464</a> (Delivery Status Notifications) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3834">RFC 3834</a> (Auto-Submitted: message header) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322">RFC 5322</a> (Internet Message Format) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531">RFC 6531</a> (Internationalized SMTP) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6532">RFC 6532</a> (Internationalized Message Format) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6533">RFC 6533</a> (Internationalized Delivery Status Notifications) + +<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b> + Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a>. + +<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b> + Changes to <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> are picked up automatically, as <a href="bounce.8.html"><b>bounce</b>(8)</a> processes + run for only a limited amount of time.
