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.) -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
