Sendmail error message

1999-08-03 10:03:46
Hello,

I want to send out (by means of a Perl script invoqued from the web) 
a message to a certain number of subscriber using /usr/sbin/sendmail. 
When the e-mail is correct, there is no problem. However, when there 
is an address with an incorrect format f.e. hiddink  
_(_at_)galileo(_dot_)or(_dot_)cr, 
sendmail sends the following message to the web:

hiddink  _ @... User unknown galileo.or.cr... User unknown 
/nonexistent/dead.letter... cannot
open /nonexistent/dead.letter: No such file or directory 


This presents 2 problems for me:
1) I do not want these error messages to be printed to the 
subscriber, I would like them only to be logged to an administrator.

2) I am on a virtual server, I do not have administrative control 
over sendmail or sendmail.cf. Appearantly, the error-messages are 
stored per default to /nonexistent/dead.letter which does not exist. 
Therefore, error-messages are lost and besides, I do not have acces 
to them.

Would it be possible for procmail to send out these messages? Since I 
have administrative control over procmail, this would enable me to 
log the error-messages there where I want?

Or would there be other solutions?

Many thanks in advance for your help!
