I've seen some other systems actually use an empty from address - not sure if that will cause problems, but I'd rather make my message look like a DSN perhaps?
If I format a line like:
From: Support System <@>
What effect will it have? Is there a better way? I don't want to alias the messages to the bit bucket - there are a bunch of reasons this will cause me other problems...
Suggestions?
Some systems today use callback verification -- before accepting the message they establish an outbound connection to the apparent sender's address, and if the RCPT TO: is rejected they refuse the message.
Therefore, your From: headers and the return address should be left alone. Provide a Reply-To: header to an address that bounces with a "this address does not accept mail, use X" message.
