Sandy, Heinrich,

A couple of things. 1st: in 7.04 we fixed the SMTP deliver
process so that messages that have a NUL sender in the SMTP
conversation don't get forwarded to the list. The log
snippet that Heinrich sent shows that the bounce message is
coming in with a valid address, so SMTP is not going to
catch it. So, (2d) what Sandy is looking for at this point
is the actual message body and its headers (so am I
actually, want to see the same thing he wants to see).
