Errors-To is junk. Sendmail doesn't recommend you turn that feature on,
and even if you do, other relays that you will send e-mail to still might
not (and should not respect it).

You should instead set the envelope sender to be the desired error
return address.

I sure hope you aren't intended to garbage all error returns. I can't
tell you how often I see the same stupid listserver connecting and trying
to send to a long dead account. I also had a customer who had a mailing
list, and was simply dumping all the returned e-mail rather than removing
people from the mailing list. Very bad.
