Is it due to the version we are using? Do new versions correct the
problem? Perhaps the solution is to upgrade... or perhaps hack the
source?
i'm using version 1.6.3 - the last recent one.
before i compiled the deb-package by myself, i had a maildrop-mysql
package (version 1.3.?). there, maildrop didn't bounce the mails. every
not deliverable mail was in the queue afterwards. this is also not a
very good solution because the queue is filled up and the senders which
probably misspelled some emailadresses doesn't get an immediate answer.
maybe after some time (default 5 days?) postfix is giving up.
another missing thing is a "catchall" address. the postfix-mysql
extension supports an emailadress @domain.ch, which fetches all mail.
i don't know how much interests there are with the recent spam attacks.
i had to disable catchall functions for some domains because some
spamers abused randomly selected senderadresses. because all sender
addresses were valid, these domains got flooded by mailerdaemon answers
