BOUNCE(8)                   System Manager's Manual                  BOUNCE(8)

NAME
       bounce - Postfix delivery status reports
SYNOPSIS
       bounce [generic Postfix daemon options]
DESCRIPTION
       The bounce(8) daemon maintains per-message log files with delivery sta-
       tus 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 master.cf file (either  bounce,  defer  or  trace).
       This program expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.
       The bounce(8) daemon processes two types of service requests:
       o      Append a recipient (non-)delivery status record to a per-message
              log file.
       o      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.
