- On most systems that I am familiar with, non-delivery messages are only
- returned to the sender. If, for any reason, the message cannot be returned
- to the originator, it is then delivered to the local postmaster.

- There is currently no way to do this under MultiNet. Unless there is
- significant demand for this functionality, it is unlikely that we will
- implement it. The behavior you describe is rather questionable from
- an invasion of privacy standpoint.
