^^^^^^^ meaning precisely?
(ie using quotes if necessary).
I'd have to get back to you on this. I had asked this question of our
sysadmins and they gave me the above answer. I'll ask them for a more precise
answer.
Here is their reply:
It was literally "root@empty", according to the mail server logs. The
mail servers could not resolve "empty" as a host name and rejected the
message.
