    Is there a setting that sendmail is not replying to the “delivery notification” request, but forwards it to the next server?

    No, there is not a setting. That's not how DSNs / MDNs work.

    Delivery Status Notification (a.k.a. DSN) messages are supposed to be
    sent by the last server in the delivery chain. -- They are not sent by
    each hop along the path.

    Note: Not all servers support (either capability and / or setting)
    DSNs. In that case, the server handing the message to the uncooperative
    server is responsible for sending the DSN.

    Message Disposition Notification (a.k.a. MDN) messages are sent by the recipient's MUA.

    Note: Not all MUAs support (either capability and / or setting) MDNs.
