[nottingham] Fetchmail Sendmail...just keep on bouncing.

I've set up a machine to grab a multidrop pop box from my provider, with
detchmail. The machine is already running sendmail , and the
configuration seems to work fine!!, users get thier mail correctly,
aliases in sendmail work fine, everythig is well...or is it?

I seem to be having problems controlling how bounces (user unknown)
(i.e. no aliases or real user on this server!) are being handled.
I want unknown users not to bounce back to the user, but to bounce to
the defined postmaster instead.

Having read the documentation(rare!) ;-), it seems that --nobounce on
the cmd line options should do the trick, but it's seems to make no
difference if I supply the option or not? fetchmail version is 5.6.0?

Any Ideas?

Laters,
Lee
