The bounced message will be sent by the MAILER-DAEMON on the mail relay server to postmaster, which inturn will point to the person that takes care of email.

Your not planning on sending spam email are you ???

This is the typical setup
Code:
# The following alias is required by the mail protocol, RFC 2821
# Set it to the address of a HUMAN who deals with this system's mail problems.
postmaster: root

# Alias for mailer daemon; returned messages from our MAILER-DAEMON
# should be routed to our local Postmaster.
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster

ERROR(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  ERROR(8)

NAME
error - Postfix error mailer SYNOPSIS
error [generic Postfix daemon options] DESCRIPTION
The Postfix error mailer processes message delivery requests from the queue manager. Each request specifies a queue file, a sender address, a domain or host name that is treated as the reason for non-delivery, and recipient information. This program expects to be run from the master(8) process manager. The error mailer client forces all recipients to bounce, using the domain or host information as the reason for non-delivery, updates the queue file and marks recipients as finished, or it informs the queue manager that delivery should be tried again at a later time. Delivery problem reports are sent to the bounce(8) or defer(8) daemon as appropriate. SECURITY
The error mailer is not security-sensitive. It does not talk to the network, and can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege. STANDARDS
None. DIAGNOSTICS
Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8). Depending on the setting of the notify_classes parameter, the postmaster is notified of bounces and of other trouble. BUGS
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
The following main.cf parameters are especially relevant to this program. See the Postfix main.cf file for syntax details and for default values. Use the postfix reload command after a configuration change. Miscellaneous bounce_notice_recipient Postmaster for bounce error notices. notify_classes When this parameter includes the bounce class, send mail to the postmaster with with the headers of the bounced mail.
