Sendmail help for nobody mail box
Hi there all,

I got a small tiny problem of not remambering how this worked.
I get when I mail to a non existing mailbox I get a return failer to nobody@domain.bla wich will end up in root@domain.bla
What I want is to get it to /dev/NULL so I dont get a messege when I mailed to a non existing mail box.
How do I get this set up again?

Thanx in advance.
