My pet peeve is "501 bogus mail from" in response to "mail from:<>", as required by RFC1123. This just fills up my double-bounce mailbox with other people's bounces, and deprives senders of notification of delivery failures. So I stopped accepting mail from domains that refuse their own bounces. Ipswitch Imail is usually the culprit, with the "refuse null sender" mis-feature. - --- "The avalanche has already begun.
