I've seen this a couple times before, usually only happens with
bounced mail. From my understanding the receiving machine isn't
totally RFC compliant, Qmail when it bounces a mail uses the
>From address of something like </\.\/> or some other crazy
address, the receiving server is supposed to accept that but some
odd NT mailservers don't, such as imail I think it is.
There isn't a standard for Receipt notification. Most true inet
mailers won't support Delivery Notification, others such as
Exchange only support it internally if the sending client is Outlook
and the receiving client is Outlook and the message hasn't left the
server to the internet. Read Notification is a function of the Mail
Reader, some do it some don't.
