I am getting mail delivery status reports for every bcc email (that is, every 
email, since I use a bcc map to create a backup of all the mail).

I've looked through all the postfix files for any instance of sendmail -v, and 
have only found it as a comment in bounce.cf.default

/usr/local/etc/postfix
 # grep "sendmail -v" * 
bounce.cf.default:# address...) or for verbose mail delivery (sendmail -v 
address...).

main.cf:
recipient_bcc_maps = pcre:$config_directory/rbcc.pcre

rbcc.pcre:
if !/backup.*@/
/^([^+_]*).*@(.*)/   backup+151.${1}.${2}@<a local domain> 
endif

the MDSR is not really a problem, but it is not needed, so I'd like to turn it 
off if I could.

"sendmail" doesn't appears uncommented in main,.cf nor master.cf, though 
sendmail_path = /usr/local/sbin/sendmail is a default setting.

Still, I am not sure why these messages are bing generate or how to turn them 
off.
