I just received the attached bounce message from the mail I sent. 

 

I don’t know who generated it, but it may possibly be the WORST bounce message I’ve ever seen.

 

Here’s the headers as received by our email system:

Note that there is almost NOTHING that identifies which email system originated the email message – all I’ve got is that it came from mx0.ftgate.com.

 

Sigh.  Why on earth did this company waste the bandwidth on a “spam” announcement that had NO information of value in it.
