i'm using postfix in kmail to send mail, as you can see from the quoted 
headers whenever postfix has a problem sending mail it mails me a message, 
which is fine except it is mailing the person who the message is from and 
that is of course my email address so the warning message goes out in to the 
world and back again, this is waste of bandwith and resources and  feel i 
should fix this

i've looked at /etc/postfix/main.cf but i can't see how to alter this so that 
postfix sends me the warnng message locally, can someone help me out here?
