That default account could only be the Catch-All address for the Brin-L.com
domain. However, that option is disabled (due to the amount of spam it
dumped in my Inbox).

Not at all. The Brin-L.com domain and my ISP are unrelated. The registrar
(Namezero.com) offers unlimited e-mail forwarding addresses;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is one of them.

Messages sent to any of the specified addresses in the Brin-L.com domain
are automatically forwarded to my Chello account.

This is the header of the message I sent myself:

Oddly enough, this problem only seems to occur with the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
alias. I just sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which also forwards to
my Chello account), and it came through just fine. The error can also not
be in the "digest" part, because I also have an alias
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (same registrar) and that one also works just fine.
