Hi

is there a way how to customize "relocated" bounces in a similar fashion
as described in man 5 bounce?

Thanks,
Philipp

There are no "relocated" bounce messages. There are "bounce",
"delayed", "success" and "trace" messages.

The content of "relocated" error (not bounce!) messages is configurable
with relocated_maps.

Hmm... looking up man 5 relocated:
The optional relocated(5) table provides the information
that is used in "user has moved to new_location" bounce
messages.

I know.
Is there a way to customize the relocated bounce message?
The thing is that some of our users complain about the the way the bounce
message is presented to the sender. At the sender's side people don't seem
to read (or understand?) the error and thus they miss the recipient's new
address.

Since postfix isn't the MTA that generates the actual bounce message,
the answer is no.

The server that generates the actual bounce message is the SENDING server.

Postfix has configurable "bounce", "delayed", "success" and "trace"
template text.

Postfix has configurable "relocated_maps" responses.

Postfix appends "relocated_maps" responses AT THE END of the "bounce"
delivery status notifications, just like Postfix appends remote
SMTP server responses, responses from local delivery agents, and
so on AT THE END of the "bounce" delivery status notifications.

Therefore, all the ingredients of the "relocated bounce message"
are configurable as of several Postfix releases.
