A DSN (Delivery Status Notification) is returned in a new email message, by the server which encounters the problem, and it is sent to the address that is specified in the DSN parameters of the ESMTP envelope when you send the outgoing message in the first place.

By default the DSN email message will be sent to the envelope sender (SMTP MAIL FROM) of your message.

You might get more DSN's up to several days after your initial attempt to send the message (if a server is still re-trying to deliver it for you, somewhere on down the line), so you better be prepared to wait that long (several days), checking the mailbox for DSN's.
