MAILER-DAEMON@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ERROR:"550 Tell this idiot

Is that rule actually catching anything for you? The "bounce" I got had
an envelope sender address of dbmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx rather than
MAILER-DAEMON@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (or <>) and hence wouldn't be caught
by that rule.
I have:
From:dbmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ERROR:5.7.1:550 Bounces go to
the envelope sender address, not the header sender address
And that's certainly working according to /var/log/maillog
Paul.
Sometimes you don't get the rule right until the second time ;-).
I'll bounce stuff from ceres.concept.net.nz until I stop seeing error
messages on my end.
Cheers,
