Detect email rejections

[PatrickVeenstra]

I've disabled the default email account. Now my question is, how can I receive notifications of undelivered mails? They are send from [email protected] to the default mailbox (that I've disabled).

I guess I should be able to do something editing /etc/vfilters/ but don't really know what

Hello

Email messages are bounced to the actual sender. Thus, if you sent an email from "[email protected]", and it's not deliverable, then it's bounced back to "[email protected]".

Thank you.

So when using the PHP mail() function, it will bounce to the "From: " value in the header or additional_header?

It should bounce to the email address it was sent from. Thus, if it was sent out from "[email protected]" using PHP, then it would be bounced to that address. You may want to create an email account for the account username itself if you prefer to receive those emails instead of rejecting them.

Thank you.

Emails are being send to [email protected]
I only see options to create emails under an accountname, not under a servername.serverdomain. Where can I create an email address under servername.serverdomain?
