Hi,

I've run into a problem with  a couple of sites that allow people to 
send spam without using a mailer that checks the existence of the user 
they send mail to....

Like this : people send an email to xxxx at michaelvergallen.com the domain 
I own but the user doesn't exist so the mail gets bounced back however 
because the people who send the mail don't use real email addresses they 
get bounced to postmaster at michaelvergallen.com e.i. back to me ...The 
server uses sendmail and it's a hosted domain ....how do  I  fix this so 
that mails that don't get delivered to my real mailboxes on this domain 
on the server go to /dev/null instead of being bounced back ....
