Hi,

I've got a server where a own smtp-server is listening on port 25 for
incoming messages. But it can't deliver outgoing mail. So I want
postfix (2.3.8-2+b1, GNU/Debian etch) to do that job.

I commented out smtpd in master.cf and let my own smtp-server deliver
mails to postfix via /usr/sbin/sendmail. That works great.

But when postfix can't deliver a message and has to create a bounce
message it complains (correctly):

 May 6 14:11:50 sienna postfix/smtp[32686]: D0D552F401B: to=<andyEXAMPLE.COM>, relay=none, delay=0, status=bounced (mail for EXAMPLE.COM loops back to myself)
 May 6 14:11:50 sienna postfix/qmgr[13849]: D0D552F401B: removed

How can I tell postfix to deliver these mails to the listed MX servers
anyway? (although this will be the same server postfix is running, too)

And what I am wondering too: does it really simply delete these bounces?
Can I configure postfix to write them to a local mbox?

Thanks a lot for any hint,
 Andy.
