Does anyone know how to cause bounced messages, cc'ed to
Postmaster, which (normally?) contain the FULL text of the
original message, to contain only the headers? (parse _that_!)


We recently installed 5.61 and found that Postmaster was receiving
the full text of bounced messages instead of just the headers,
like we used to get with our SunOS 3.5 and Xinu sendmail. Aside
from the obvious privacy issues, it wastes disk space. Is there
a way to eliminate the text that mailer-daemon sends to Postmaster?

Thanks
