yes, there are a number of sendmail invocations in the majordomo perl scripts. I am just wondering which ones to change. A word count on the perl scripts in /home/majordomo says that there are 113 occurrances of "sendmail". I probably should not change them all. And I am not that familiar with the intrinsics of majordomo scripts. I am probably not the first to do VERP with postfix and majordomo, so I hope others could help me before I do something hopelessly stupid, and which I will only discover many moons from now. > DO NOT feed a specially-formatted sender address into the Postfix > sendmail command.

Just do what the instructins say. I was intending to add "-XV" to a sendmail line somewhere - nothing else. For postfix proper, does postfix invoke the postfix sendmail command somewhere in the process as an MTA to deliver a mail, - for aliases expansion? I would have thought that this was governed by postfix/master.cf . That is postfix would receive a message on port 25 and then forward it to some queue for deliverance. I would then think I could employ postfix sendmail -XV to generate bounce mails with the recipients address in the bounce field somewhere. BTW, I got the delivery part to work as documented, so mail to user+sen...@domain gets delivered to u...@domain. So far, so good. best regards keld
