...mmmhhh thinking again. This will also disable internal users from getting
DSN. Is there any way to disable DSN for ip <> 192.168.x.x for example?
I was reading sendmail man page:
-N dsn Set delivery status notification conditions to dsn, which can be
`never' for no notifications or a comma separated list of
the
values `failure' to be notified if delivery failed, `delay'
to
be notified if delivery is delayed, and `success' to be
notified
when the message is successfully delivered.
I have started sendmail with '-N failure,delay' but exchange always reply
with success DSN.
I'm going to add a 'Precendence: bulk' header to all messages that MD
receive from the internet so exchange will not generate success DSN. Is this
a wrong thing to do?
