Well, I'm a bit confused about your proposal. Does that really work?
The bounce message (that is delivered to the postmaster) should
contain (as body) the header of the bounced message but not the body
of the bounced message. So if I would use the headers_only option,
would the postmaster not only get an mail with an empty body as bounce
notification message? That would not help...

Kind regards,
Christian
