this is my IMGATE box and there is no administrator acct on that box.
And no mails go out from that box other than the system emails or when I need to send log clippings or error messages out.
It seems that the bozos with the severely broken "eManager Notification" program have changed their software to send bounces to the "From:" header rather than the "Reply-To:" header, but that still ain't right. The *only* appropriate place to send bounce messages is the return address ("MAIL FROM" from the SMTP envelope).

From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Worse, they are still sending it with a "From: <Administrator>" header, which some MTAs/MUAs will convert into "From: <Administrator@MTAs_Favorite_Domain>". Hence the "forgery" aspect. However, that's at least saving them from tons of complaints, as most people have no idea who to send the complaints to.

FWIW, these are coming from internalmatters.com.
