Edit Reason: Clarify soft_bounce=yes shouldn't be in the mail.cf
)
Hi. Try updating your /etc/postfix/main.cf and comment out soft_bounce=yes (the Postfix default is no). I had the same "status=SOFTBOUNCE" in my logs for emails that should have otherwise failed (unknown email addresses, etc.) However these were being retried every 70 mins. After changing the above option I started getting the expected Undeliverable emails in the mailbox that sent the email. This was on a fresh Sentora install on a Centos 7 minimal image.
The soft_bounce=yes config appears to come from Sentora - a fresh Linode Centos 7 install has a different /etc/postfix/main.cf, installing Sentora seems to replace this (and understandably so, just not the soft_bounce value).
The references that ultimately helped me: http://postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/sta...d9035.html and the linked ref: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#soft_bounce
