You probably have all the information you need, already, in maillog. You should've logged the original bounce.

Unfortunately, I have no way to know if I did or not. There is only one instance in my logs from that server (alerts.chase.com), so I have no

That's not who's bouncing the mail. You bounced it, during a local mail delivery attempt, and this backscatter was dropped.

Look in the maillog just before this entry. Look for a failed delivery to a local mailbpox.

way to trace back to an original response. All logged attempts to deliver to the target email address (custom address for that account) have been successful.

However, I can confirm that the backscatter stuff is still being blocked. Is there any way I can at least temporarily disable it? BOFHSUPPRESSBACKSCATTER=none in bofh didn't seem to do the trick.

You have to restart Courier 'courier restart'. Also, you need to remove ESMTP_BLOCKBACKSCATTER from the courierd configuration file.

You should really read the documentation and understand how this works. It should only take a few minutes to wrap your brain around it, and understand where all the moving pieces are.
