Well, i checked it out - the bounce troubles may be avoided by the setting,
but the defer problems are still there :

Sep 19 19:18:52 w7 postfix/bounce[2873]: fatal: lock file defer 260242CA65:
Resource temporarily unavailable
Sep 19 19:18:53 w7 postfix/smtp[2134]: warning: premature end-of-input from
private/defer socket while reading input attribute name
Sep 19 19:18:53 w7 postfix/smtp[2134]: warning: 260242CA65: defer service
failure
Sep 19 19:18:53 w7 postfix/master[31791]: warning: process
/usr/libexec/postfix-mysql/bounce pid 2873 exit status 1

by the way, i wrote some basic code to replace a string token in the mail
body in the process of smtp delivery with the recipient email, it is useful
if you send a large mailing list and want to provide uniquily identifiable
unsubscribe link, which includes a url and passes the recipient email as a
parameter. Example : B.B">http://www.foo.com/unsubscribe.php?email=BULK_MAILB.B

BULK_MAILB.B will be replaced by the recipient email.

The token format is ab.c is specifically if you want to use the token in
headers of the email, so postfix would accept the token as a valid header
value (for example, sending an email to a large number of recipients and
specifying in TO: header BULK_MAILB.B to be replaced with recipient email.

I know that this will not be useful to most people, but some can benefit
from it. I also know that this will probably never get into the official
distribution, but i will maintain the patch here :

http://mail.incredimail.com/howto/postfix-bulk

I don't want to rase hell about this patch, so unless i am adressed about
this, this is the last mention of it's existance by me. i know that it can
be more efficient - but it's good enough for me - i get out 200000 30k
emails/hour on a simple IBM x330. I wrote it for myself, and currently
testing a much more complex solution with ability to replace more then one
token in the email body in the process of smtp delivery. And please don't
start telling me that i am writing spamware, because legitimate email lists
CAN reach a certain size that conventional mailing methods are unadequate
for it.
