[comp.mail.sendmail] Sendmail providing its own Errors-To:

mark@drd.UUCP (Mark Lawrence) (08/03/89)

I maintain an unmoderated  mailing list on an internet host.  I do the
maintenance and receive error messages and such from my business machine
which is connected to the internet host via uucp.  I have a .forward
file in my home directory on the internet host directing my mail to my
uucp machine.  All mail sent to the list alias is run through a script 
(on the internet machine) which strips out and From, Errors-To and Sender 
headers and provides the appropriate headers with mailing list names in 
them.  My login name on the internet machine is given as the owner name of 
the list (in the aliases file).  My script provides an Errors-To line which 
is the -request form of the mailing list address.  The problem is, sendmail 
is *also* providing an Errors-To line which is the address in my .forward 
file in my home directory.  This causes trouble with some hosts which don't 
want to see <drd!mark> as the Errors-To: address.  How do I convince sendmail 
to not do this?  If it would provide my login address on the internet machine,
all would be fine as it is a FQDN type of address and I would simply
omit the addition of the Errors-To line in the script.  Since I am
invoking sendmail in the script, is there an option I can give it which
means "Don't provide and Errors-To: header"?
