[Cialug] Postfix Disable BOUNCE [SOLVED]

[Lister]

  Ok, I feel a little silly about this one.  I got buried in the main 
and master cf's for postfix when I should have been looking in amavisd.conf.

Basically, I have this set up to DISCARD everything that is a virus or 
spam (if score reaches evasive action, otherwise it is marked as 
***SPAM*** in the subject).  Spam headers are ALWAYS being added.

Apparently, the following destinies are default in amavis-new:
$final_virus_destiny      = D_DISCARD;
$final_banned_destiny     = D_BOUNCE;
$final_spam_destiny       = D_BOUNCE;

I changed them to the following and I don't appear to be bouncing any 
spam notifications:
$final_virus_destiny      = D_DISCARD;
$final_banned_destiny     = D_DISCARD;
$final_spam_destiny       = D_DISCARD;

This should help prevent postfix backscatter and keep my mailq cleaned up.

Along the same lines, I shortened my maximal_queue_lifetime and 
bounce_queue_lifetime in postfix's main.cf.
