Topic: deleting bounced mail that can not bounced

[Scott]

Hello,

I just installed e-smith 4.0, the most thoughtful and through server distribution I have encountered, and
configured the manager to bounce email addressed to non-existant system users.
Anyone know a simple way to configure qmail to only try bouncing the email, and not send an email saying
"I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced!" to the admin email box if the
bounced email can not be delivered?

Thanks if anyone can provide a hint,
Scott

Log in as root and do:

echo sdfdsfsdf > /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto

Read the manpage for qmail-send to work out what this does:

MANPATH=/var/qmail/man man qmail-send

Thank you Charlie. Now I understand how to invoke the man reader for manuals not in the current man path and stop double bounce warning messages too.
