FWIW, I have this:

dnl Tighten down allowed options
dnl goaway = authwarnings, noexpn, novrfy, needmailhelo,
dnl          needmailhelo, needexpnhelo, needvrfyhelo
define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS',`goaway,noreceipts,nobodyreturn')dnl

...mmmhhh thinking again. This will also disable internal users from getting DSN. Is there any way to disable DSN for ip <> 192.168.x.x for example?
I was reading sendmail man page:
-N dsn    Set delivery status notification conditions to dsn, which can be
`never' for no notifications or a comma separated list of the values `failure' to be notified if delivery failed, `delay' to be notified if delivery is delayed, and `success' to be notified
             when the message is successfully delivered.

I have started sendmail with '-N failure,delay' but exchange always reply with success DSN. I'm going to add a 'Precendence: bulk' header to all messages that MD receive from the internet so exchange will not generate success DSN. Is this a wrong thing to do?
