Well, your From header is correct (it doesn't have the werich part), but
that is not the problem. The rejection happens at the stage where your
sendmail is sending the envelope sender information, not the From
header. So even though your From header is correct, the envelope sender
is still marked as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There's (at least) two ways to fix this.
The simpler is probably to set $envelope_from in your .muttrc, this
makes Mutt pick the address from the From header and use that as the
evenlope sener.
The second approach is to customize the sendmail command (the $sendmail
Mutt variable) and set up your envelope sender address in that, with the
-f switch. This way the envelope sender isn't dependent on the From
address, should that be an issue for you.
Hope this helps,
Mikko
