Hi, We run sendmail on our systems in the field to hold and send email (but never receive it from the outside world) and I would like to be able to suppress bounce generation. The local user sending the email on the system has it's email redirected outside (to us back at base) so we're not the bounce messages provide pretty much zero useful information and just slow the link down when it does come back. Does anyone know how? I've seen DOUBLE_BOUNCE_ADDRESS which would help, but it would be nice to suppress them all if possible.

However, it is likely that solving the problem another way-- such as not sending mail which is going to bounce-- would be a better idea. -- -Chuck
