Subject: Re: bounce instead of deferred status

Hi
 Try looking at the FAQ:
 <http://postfix.merit.edu/faq.html#dialup>

TIP: To stop bounces while debugging set "soft_bounce=yes"

 AFAIK When soft_bounce is set it will only bounce mail after it's been in
the queue for maximal_queue_lifetime days (which is 5 by default)
 (If you want a quick & ugly hack you can just set "soft_bounce=yes"
that *should* do the trick for you)
