I have recently installed sendmail-5.65+IDA on our Sun's and
Bull DPX/2 systems here. We have now noticed that Postmaster
receives the body of messages being returned to sender.
With the P option set (ie. OPPostmaster in sendmail.cf)
Both the user and the Postmaster receive.

Without the P option set Postmaster gets nothing.
When using Sun's sendmail Postmaster would
only have received:
>Return-Path: <Mailer-Daemon>
>Date: Fri, 21 Jun 91 14:46:07 +1000

Even though the originator received the body as well. We much
prefer this arrangement.
I have had a look at savemail.c etc and can't see that the
behaviour we would like is catered for.
It seems to me that the ``Cc'' to Postmaster would have to be
handled as a separate message so that only the headers be
included. Or that something other than sendall() would need to
be called from returntosender().
Before I go doing any useless hacking... I'd love to hear if
someone already has some patches, or better yet, that I have
missed something simple... (yes I have read the op.me and
related documents again :-)
Please e-mail as I'll be off-site for a couple of weeks and
probably won't get a chance to read news.
