I get too many emails everyday informing me of Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender.

Is there someway I can use a different email address so that just those emails will be forwarded to a seperate email address?

I still want my PM emails to be sent out from my primary email address.

What are my options?

Depending on what your host provides.
You could add a filter and redirect bounced emails to another email address from the host control panel.
For me I have a email address called [email protected].
Then I redirect all email from the ubb primary email address to [email protected] on a error.

I use them myself.
Then you may need to open a ticket.
I recall they handle bounced email defaults where it is deleted.

In fact I was asking for the opposite to retain the bounce backs.
Here is the response I got from Jake:

Talking with Rick it appears we may have disabled the bounce backs due to customer requests but I'm looking to see if we can enable that for individual domains.
