	define(`confDOUBLE_BOUNCE_ADDRESS', `postmaster')

If you're editing sendmail.cf directly (which I don't recommend, as it
normally needs to be regenerated if you update sendmail):

	# where do errors that occur when sending errors get sent?
	#O DoubleBounceAddress=postmaster

Note that normal (single) bounces are sent to the envelope sender. The
double-bounce address is only used if a bounce message bounces because
the original envelope sender address is invalid.
