Hello,
I am new to Linux and sendmail. I succesfully maneged to set Redhat
linux 6.1, Sendmail was pretty much pre-configured, qpoppr as POP3 was a
ride in the park too. Anyway, when I sent mail to a non-existent user,
or a e-mail denied user I got a message that I can not sent. When I go
over the mesage size limit my netscape mail client hangs. I never see
this on the internet. Those things get handled better, usually a mail
returns to your mailbox explaining user unknown or such. How can I
configure my system to handle these thing more gracefully?

Thanks for your help.
Piet
