This is a bug I have already reported, the problem is the bounced
email is not 'injeted' in
top of the email process (where the aliases stuff are done), but after
the antivirus check !
Any bounced email is clean and then dont need a anti-(virsu/spam)
verification, this was the idea.
But then you lose all the aliases stuff !

in /kolab/etc/kolab/templates/amavisd.conf.template, you can modify the line

$notify_method = $forward_method;          # where to submit notifications

by someting like

$notify_method = 'smtp:@@@local_addr@@@:25';     # where to submit notifications
