PostFix configuration

Hello

I'm new in this forum so I don't know if this is the correct page for my question.
We have a server ,running RedHat 3, with installed Postfix 2.2.11 with Amavis , SpamAssassin and ClamAv.
This server is used by several years without problem.

Now we have some some problems with spam/bounced messages and we have the necessity, if possible , to send forwarding errors ( in case of errors during forward of messages to some mailling list we have configured ) only to a local mail system administrator on our system , so that this person can verify/fix the problem.

I have seen that in the master.cf file there is a line in which we can decide what to do with bounce messages ( default operation is "bounce" ).
We have set it to "discard" but i don't think this is the correct solution - in this case simply postfix deletes the bounce message.

Also, when relaying authenticated mail, we need to add the authenticated user as a
header in the relayed mail.

Please, can you help me with this problems / configurations?

Thank you

Mail::SpamAssassin::AutoWhitelist(3)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		      Mail::SpamAssassin::AutoWhitelist(3)

NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::AutoWhitelist - auto-whitelist handler for SpamAssassin SYNOPSIS
(see Mail::SpamAssassin) DESCRIPTION
Mail::SpamAssassin is a module to identify spam using text analysis and several internet-based realtime blacklists. This class is used internally by SpamAssassin to manage the automatic whitelisting functionality. Please refer to the "Mail::SpamAssassin" documentation for public interfaces. METHODS
$meanscore = awl->check_address($addr, $originating_ip, $signedby); This method will return the mean score of all messages associated with the given address, or undef if the address hasn't been seen before. If $originating_ip is supplied, it will be used in the lookup. awl->count(); This method will return the count of messages used in determining the whitelist correction. awl->add_score($score); This method will add half the score to the current entry. Half the score is used, so that repeated use of the same From and IP address combination will gradually reduce the score. awl->add_known_good_address($addr); This method will add a score of -100 to the given address -- effectively "bootstrapping" the address as being one that should be whitelisted. awl->add_known_bad_address($addr); This method will add a score of 100 to the given address -- effectively "bootstrapping" the address as being one that should be blacklisted. perl v5.12.1 2010-03-16 Mail::SpamAssassin::AutoWhitelist(3)
