    First off, postfix works fine if I use an adress that exists.
    But if I send a email to a user/adress that does not exist I would want them to get a reply with that.
    This is my mail.log
    Code:
    Mar 27 14:56:40 control postfix/smtpd[3419]: connect from mail-qe0-f49.google.com[209.85.128.49]
    Mar 27 14:56:40 control postfix/smtpd[3419]: Anonymous TLS connection established from mail-qe0-f49.google.com[209.85.128.49]: TLSv1 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA (128/128 bits)
    Mar 27 14:56:40 control postfix/smtpd[3419]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-qe0-f49.google.com[209.85.128.49]: 450 4.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-qe0-f49.google.com>
    Mar 27 14:56:40 control postfix/smtpd[3419]: disconnect from mail-qe0-f49.google.com[209.85.128.49]

    What I want is to get something like this to the sender:
    Mail Delivery Subsystem <[email protected]>
    Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

    [email protected]

    Technical details of permanent failure:
    Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain doman.tld by smtp.domain.tld. [1.2.3.4].

    The error that the other server returned was:
    550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown

    ----- Original message -----

    Any help is appreciated.

    You don't need do nothing. That message should be sent from mail-qe0-f49.google.com[209.85.128.49] to the sender.

    I just noticed that it does, but after around 24-28 hours.
    Is there any configuration issue here?
    I would want the sender to get notified instantly!
    Here is what I got in return.

    They are the sender, so you can't control this. It's an issue from them.
