"sender was rejected" usually means that the remote SMTP server issued a 5xx
or 4xx code after the MAIL FROM: command. This can be due to DNS problems
when remote sites use bogus anti-spam measures.
You'll also see this with some sites that reject empty envelope senders (i.e.,
you can't send a bounce to them).
In general, sites that use either of these strategies aren't worth sending
mail to.
