Sorry about this mail. Today I've readed RFC1123 and I know more about MTA, so i offer 
to you
the most interesting:

5.2.9  Command Syntax: RFC-821 Section 4.1.2

The syntax shown in RFC-821 for the MAIL FROM: command omits the case of an empty 
path:  "MAIL
FROM: <>" (see RFC-821 Page 15).  An empty reverse path MUST be supported.

5.3.3  Reliable Mail Receipt
.......
If there is a delivery failure after acceptance of a message, the receiver-SMTP MUST 
formulate
and mail a notification message.  This notification MUST be sent using a null ("<>") 
reverse
path in the envelope; see Section 3.6 of RFC-821.  The recipient of this notification 
SHOULD be
the address from the envelope return path (or the Return-Path: line).  However, if 
this address
is null ("<>"),  the receiver-SMTP MUST NOT send a notification.  If the address is an 
explicit
source route, it         SHOULD be stripped down to its final hop.

All days are good for learn something.
