I have Refuse NULL <> Senders unchecked under the Advanced SMTP Tabs. Yet
today I had a legitimate message rejected as follows:

"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]|11:11 11:42 SMTP-(051C000B) ERR undeliverable 501

Yes, I know it has been discussed unchecking the refuse null senders box. It
is. Any other suggestions? Or is this just another of the many instances
where IMail does as it pleases with no rhyme or reason?
