If I understand correctly, you're asking for a way to get sendmail to
send errors back to the sender rather than to the postmaster.
As far as I'm aware the sender always gets a copy, unless it's a mailing
list that re-directs the bounce messages to the list admin. Meanwhile
the postmaster copy is optional. It's controlled in /etc/sendmail.cf
by the line that says:
# who (if anyone) should get extra copies of error messages
O PostMasterCopy=Postmaster
Comment this out to stop the copies to postmaster. (And then kill -HUP
the sendmail daemon.)
