Vaughn,
IMHO:
Not really, Since the message was accepted, there will be no postmaster
responses. One would have to create Rules and other things to make is
duplicate the built in responses. It probably could be done, but I certainly
don't have the time!
I would not use a nobody for my domain, maybe for one I host and they insist
on seeing all incoming mail. I really don't want to know that someone sent to
the wrong address. If they cannot get it right, guess they might try something
else. Can only do some much education of newbies. Besides, postmaster does it
immediately and it does not affect my server (unknowns are sent by the sending
SMPT server, if you have Relaying configured correctly)! Of course, I don't
have much time for postmaster duties, so ANY reduction in workload is GREATLY
encouraged.
