# NAME
#	bounce 5
# SUMMARY
#	Postfix bounce message template format
# SYNOPSIS
#	\fBbounce_template_file = /etc/postfix/bounce.cf\fR
#
#	\fBpostconf -b\fR [\fItemplate_file\fR]
# DESCRIPTION
#	The Postfix \fBbounce\fR(8) server produces delivery status
#	notification (DSN) messages for undeliverable mail, delayed
#	mail, successful delivery or address verification requests.
#
#	By default, these notifications are generated from built-in
#	templates with message headers and message text. Sites can
#	override the built-in information by specifying a bounce
#	template file with the \fBbounce_template_file\fR configuration
#	parameter.
#
#	This document describes the general procedure to create a
#	bounce template file, followed by the specific details of
#	bounce template formats.
# GENERAL PROCEDURE
# .ad
# .fi
#	To create a customized bounce template file, create a
#	temporary
#	copy of the file \fB/etc/postfix/bounce.cf.default\fR and
#	edit the temporary file.
#
#	To preview the results of $\fIname\fR expansions in the
#       template text, use the command
#
# .nf
#	    \fBpostconf -b\fR \fItemporary_file\fR
# .fi
#
#	Errors in the template will be reported to the standard
#	error stream and to the syslog daemon.
#
#	While previewing the text, be sure to pay particular attention
#	to the expansion of time value parameters that appear in
#	the delayed mail notification text.
#
#	Once the result is satisfactory, copy the template to the
#	Postfix configuration directory and specify in main.cf
#	something like:
#
# .nf
#	/etc/postfix/main.cf:
#	    bounce_template_file = /etc/postfix/bounce.cf
# .fi
# TEMPLATE FILE FORMAT
# .ad
# .fi
#	The template file can specify templates for failed mail,
#	delayed mail, successful delivery or for address verification.
#	These templates are named \fBfailure_template\fR,
#	\fBdelay_template\fR, \fBsuccess_template\fR and
#	\fBverify_template\fR, respectively.  You can but do not
#	have to specify all four templates in a bounce template
#	file.
#
#	Each template starts with "\fItemplate_name\fB = <<EOF\fR"
#	and ends with a line that contains the word "\fBEOF\fR"
#	only. You can change the word EOF, but you can't enclose
#	it in quotes as with the shell or with Perl (\fItemplate_name\fB
#	= <<'EOF'\fR). Here is an example:
#
# .nf
#	    # The failure template is used for undeliverable mail.
#
#	    failure_template = <<EOF
#	    Charset: us-ascii
#	    From: MAILER-DAEMON (Mail Delivery System)
#	    Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
#	    Postmaster-Subject: Postmaster Copy: Undelivered Mail
#	    
#	    This is the mail system at host $myhostname.
#	    
#	    I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
#	    be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
#	    
#	    For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
#	    
#	    If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
#	    delete your own text from the attached returned message.
#
#	                       The mail system
#	    EOF
# .fi
# .PP
#	The usage and specification of bounce templates is
#	subject to the following restrictions:
# .IP \(bu
#	No special meaning is given to the backslash character or
#	to leading whitespace; these are always taken literally.
# .IP \(bu
#	Inside the << context, the "$" character is special. To
#	produce a "$" character as output, specify "$$".
# .IP \(bu
#	Outside the << context, lines beginning with "#" are ignored,
#	as are empty lines, and lines consisting of whitespace only.
# .PP
#	Examples of all templates can be found in the file
#	\fBbounce.cf.default\fR in the Postfix configuration
#	directory.
# TEMPLATE HEADER FORMAT
# .ad
# .fi
#	The first portion of a bounce template consists of optional
#	template headers.  Some become message headers in the
#	delivery status notification; some control the formatting
#	of that notification. Headers not specified in a template
#	will be left at their default value.
#
#	The following headers are supported:
# .IP \fBCharset:\fR
#	The MIME character set of the template message text.  See
#	the "TEMPLATE MESSAGE TEXT FORMAT" description below.
# .IP \fBFrom:\fR
#	The sender address in the message header of the delivery
#	status notification.
# .IP \fBSubject:\fR
#	The subject in the message header of the delivery status
#	notification that is returned to the sender.
# .IP \fBPostmaster-Subject:\fR
#	The subject that will be used in Postmaster copies of
#	undeliverable or delayed mail notifications. These copies
#	are sent under control of the notify_classes configuration
#	parameter.
# .PP
#	The usage and specification of template message headers is
#	subject to the following restrictions:
# .IP \(bu
#	Template message header names can be specified in upper
#	case, lower case or mixed case. Postfix always produces
#	bounce message header labels of the form "\fBFrom:\fR" and
#	"\fBSubject:\fR".
# .IP \(bu
#	Template message headers must not span multiple lines.
# .IP \(bu
#	Template message headers do not support $parameter expansions.
# .IP \(bu
#	Template message headers must contain ASCII characters only,
#	and must not contain ASCII null characters.
# TEMPLATE MESSAGE TEXT FORMAT
# .ad
# .fi
#	The second portion of a bounce template consists of message
#	text. As the above example shows, template message text may
#	contain main.cf $parameters. Besides the parameters that are
#	defined in main.cf, the following parameters are treated
#	specially depending on the suffix that is appended to their
#	name.
# .IP \fBdelay_warning_time_\fIsuffix\fR
#	Expands into the value of the \fBdelay_warning_time\fR
#	parameter, expressed in the time unit specified by
#	\fIsuffix\fR, which is one of \fBseconds\fR, \fBminutes\fR,
#	\fBhours\fB, \fBdays\fR, or \fBweeks\fR.
# .IP \fBmaximal_queue_lifetime_\fIsuffix\fR
#	Expands into the value of the \fBmaximal_queue_lifetime\fR
#	parameter, expressed in the time unit specified by
#	\fIsuffix\fR.  See above under \fBdelay_warning_time\fR for
#	possible \fIsuffix\fR values.
# .PP
#	The usage and specification of template message text is
#	subject to the following restrictions:
# .IP \(bu
#	The template message text is not sent in Postmaster copies
#	of delivery status notifications.
# .IP \(bu
#	If the template message text contains non-ASCII characters,
#	Postfix requires that the \fBCharset:\fR template header
#	is updated.  Specify an appropriate superset of US-ASCII.
#	A superset is needed because Postfix appends ASCII text
#	after the message template when it sends a delivery status
#	notification.
