Consider we can send from different "senders" as example.
someone_a@domain1
someone_b@domain2
Sendmail sends this messages to "recipient".
Now lets make an assumption that recipient is unknown from some reason (wrong user or domain etc). So the message is not delivered and there is delivery repport generated back to sender abaut deliver failure that recipient is unknown. Now. Can we make some configuration that those delivery reports will not go to sender but redirected/forwarded/or copied to local user let say root mailbox for example?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Sendmail: Is it possible to route responses abaut failures to local user?
One of the possibilities in MC config is:
define(`confCOPY_ERRORS_TO', `root')dn
Normally, you leave it to postmaster.

Re: Sendmail: Is it possible to route responses abaut failures to local user?
Do you mind if I ask you more questions?
What do you mean by MC ... file sendmail.mc?
What happens if it comes to postmaster? (It means it is something like forwarded to originator of the mail?)

Postmaster is a user that you can alias to any user, including root.

Re: Sendmail: Is it possible to route responses abaut failures to local user?
These undelivered mail errors are sent from the last relay SMTP server that is actually taking to the recepient's MX record SMTP server. So if you don't have access to this server, you can not do anything. The sender string is MAILER-DAEMON (see DnMAILER-DAEMON in sendmail.cf). There are no settings to disable the message back to the original sender which means that the only way to do this is to rewrite the error processing rules. This is something that I avoid doing and unless you become a sendmail guru I suggest you do the same. Maybe somebody else will reply with rewriting a rule.

For me is ok if just copies of delivery failure messages will comes to root.
What should be done then? Only this two lines in mc config?

Solution#O PostMasterCopy=Postmaster in your sendmail.cf file. You may need to restart the sendmail daemon. You don't need to change Postmaster to root in the above. The aliases file usually forwards the Postmaster address to root by default.

Re: Sendmail: Is it possible to route responses abaut failures to local user?
But is it possible to do that this is not a copy send to Postmaster and trying to send a copy to sender as well?
I mean like forwardin reports to root instead of copying them?
