If one sends an e-mail to an invalid address (i.e. invalid1234) then the rejection notice (i.e. User Unknown) is often returned to sendmail with the 'return-path' blank. Normally sendmail delivers this notice to the originator of the original e- mail. If linuxconf is used to generate the sendmail.cf, then about 80% of the time the notification is discarded with a error message placed in the maillog file. (I assume that for the other 20% the return-path is provided. I know that the problem happens for all mail bounced from AOL, but from lots of other places as well.) I suspect the check_mail rule is the culprit, but I am not sure. Work-around: Use /etc/sendmail.mc file and the m4 macros to generate your sendmail.cf file.
Closing because we don't ship linuxconf anymore
