'procbounce' creates it on demand:

    bounces=bounces

    $test -d $bounces || $mkdir $bounces

The 'Resent-Sender' is meaningless.  Nothing parses it.

What is the 'envelope from' in these: that's what matters.  They may show

Something is certainly mangling your mail, though: the 'Resent-Bcc' is not
normal.  What MTA are you using?
