Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  This seems to not be an issue and at least in 3.7.0 `bounce_notice_recipient = postmaster` is not duplicated.

@wolegis: Thanks for the report.

I don't believe this to be a packaging problem though, as the duplicated line is not present in 3.6.1 and the PKGBUILD does not modify the defaults to set bounce_notice_recipient.

(problem introduced in 1999) The Postfix SMTP server was sending all session transcripts to the error_notice_recipient (default: postmaster), instead of sending transcripts of bounced mail to the bounce_notice_recipient (default: postmaster). Reported by Hans van Zijst.

The fix for this adds VAR_BOUNCE_RCPT, DEF_ERROR_RCPT, &var_bounce_rcpt, 1, 0, to the CONFIG_STR_TABLE of smtpd.c which is one of the sources used to generate main.cf.default, producing the duplicate entry.
