Hello all,

I have recently set up qmail and I have a question regarding the mailer-daemon
mail.  I am new to qmail (used to run sendmail) so this may be a easy/dumb
question.

I get a fair number of bounces when qmail sends out a delivery failure notice
for non existent user or user that has been deleted.  Of course most of the
bounces are caused by spam so the failure notice from qmail gets bounced back
to qmail which then notifies me via the mailer-daemon address of the failure.

I know that qmail uses the .qmail files to deliver alaises.  Originally the
.qmail alias for mailer-daemon was a simlink to the .qmail postmaster file
which contains the user I want to receive system mail  I removed the simlink
and made the .qmail file for mailer-daemon try to send mail to /dev/null hoping
this might stop the messages from clogging up my inbox.  No luck.  I still get
them.

Anyone have any suggestions how to stop/control/configure messages from
mailer-daemon or the qmail mta in general?  Thanks.

regards, rotbau
