dovecot version: 2.2.13 NetBSD 5.1 on an amd64 architecture Based on the log file, I think this problem first manifested itself when I upgrade from 2.2.9 to 2.2.12. I tried to go back to 2.2.9, but I would have had to rollback some of the other dependencies. I built 2.2.13 and the problem still exists. Mail gets successfully delivered, but the sender get a non-delivery message. I've hacked a temporary workaround to prevent the non-delivery from being sent by having the bounce service run discard instead of bounce.
