There is sender address validation, and it is a little complex.  But it's not 
the issue in this case as both email addresses will work when sending mail 
from server0 and neither works when sending from server1.  Thanks for the 
suggestion, I'm really stuck here.

Below is an example of the swaks output from server1.  The exact same data 
when sent from server0 gives a 250 ok response from mx0.  I used sed to change 
the domain to example.com, but apart from that it's all a copy.

While there are some other differences between server0 and server1 (Squeeze vs 
Wheezy) I don't think that they apply as I've verified all the text on "->" 
lines from Swaks and it's the same.  As an aside for those who don't know of 
it Swaks is an excellent SMTP test tool, everyone who runs a mail server 
should know how to use it and have it installed in case of problems.
