On a Sendmail 8.12 installation I have several relaying customers.
If their bounces bounce, they end up in my postmaster mailbox along
with my own. What I'd like Sendmail to do is forward double bounces
to postmaster only if the bounce originated locally.

Any ideas how to achieve that?

Thanks,
Tilman

Firstly nobody should be running 8.12.x :)
8.14 is current, you've even missed all 8.13.x

However in your .mc file add:

define(`confDOUBLE_BOUNCE_ADDRESS',`')dnl

then remake your cf file and restart sendmail

Would it change anything wrt to my question if I ran 8.13 or 8.14?

This drops *all* double bounces, not just relayed once as I asked.
