Can sendmail DSNs be disabled?

Question

I would like to disable/prevent SendMail from sending a notification if delivery of an email has been delayed. By default, sendmail sends this out after 4 hours.

What's the best way to do this? Can I set confTO_QUEUEWARN to 0?

You must to know:

1. Disabling DSN is not recommended settings
2. STFW can help always
3. If you can't read and understand sendmail.mc, you aren't postmaster

RTFM. Namely - confPRIVACY_FLAGS and noreceipts flag

noreceipts causes sendmail to ignore the NOTIFY=SUCCESS DSN extension of the RCPT To: command and to ignore Return-Receipt-To: headers. When noreceipts is used, sendmail does not advertise or support DSN... it is not recommended that you use it either...
