postmaster notification

Hi,

I have sendmail configured on RH9 and everything is fine. It just occured to me that i'm not getting the postmaster notifcations. I have the aliases setup correctly.

If for example you send an email to bogus@cream-cake.com I dont get a post master warning to say this user didnt exist and the email has been returned to you... All i see is the error stated in logwatch.

any ideas why? and how to fix it?

it must be a notification preference within sendmail....

cheers

i'm reading about the postmastercopy option? looks like it isnt configured to send a copy of bounched email to the postmaster by default.

I just confirmed that the mailer daemon works if i send to an unkown host but as isaid above if someone external tries to email me on a bigus address i dont see a postmaster email...
