I have more information, that brings it all more in focus.  F'ing CLIENTS!!

They set up a damn nobody address, then redirected it to a non-existing
info@ address.

There's also another player here, as you can see there's also a
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" address which appears to be the original
recipient, way at the very beginning of the entire message trace (all the
way at the bottom).  Now I'm really unsure of the full incident path, but
feel like we're getting closer.  With the new information provided above,
anyone wanna take another crack at it while I do the same?

To be technical, IMail was bouncing the E-mail after receiving it (which is
bad, but common), as opposed to rejecting it (which is good).

So the core of the problem is that IMail is receiving the E-mail, doing
spam scanning, and then bouncing it.  If you can get IMail to reject it
immediately, the problem goes away.  If this is a domain you act as a
gateway for, however, I don't believe you can get IMail to do that.

Making it worse is the fact that the spam headers are there, which are
going to convince most people (incorrectly, in this case) that the reason
for the bounce was that the E-mail was spam.
