Description cilly 2006-09-13 14:00:56 UTC 
In main.cf, set the following settings:

   notify_classes = 2bounce, policy, resource, software

Verify that postconf lists the following:

   postconf|grep noti
     2bounce_notice_recipient = postmaster
     bounce_notice_recipient = postmaster
     delay_notice_recipient = postmaster
     error_notice_recipient = postmaster
     notify_classes = 2bounce, resource, software

The following entries appear in mail.log:

Policy defined in notify_classes should track it and send an email to postmaster, but it doesn't.

from postconf(5)
...
       policy Send the postmaster a transcript of the SMTP session when  a  client
              request  was  rejected  because of (UCE) policy. The notification is
              sent to the address specified with the  error_notice_recipient  con-
              figuration parameter (default: postmaster).
...

the way I understand it, notify_classes won't send postmaster anything if the other mail server bounce your mail. You can take this upstream since this is not caused by gentoo ebuild.
