Dave,

RFC 821 states:
=One way to prevent loops in error reporting is to specify a null
=reverse-path in the MAIL command of a notification message. When such
=a message is relayed it is permissible to leave the reverse-path
=null. A MAIL command with a null reverse-path appears as follows:
=         MAIL FROM:<>

So this form is absolutely legal and your Firewall should let it pass.
