You did.
You are sending out email that there is absolutely *NO* way for the
intended recipient -- or their server -- to notify you about the success
or failure of delivery.
If you send out email from an email address ensure that the envelope can
receive email; either arrange for the envelope address to be something
other than "apache@" or arrange for "apache@" to forward somewhere
sensible.
Also, why are you generating outbound email that it is impossible for
the recipient to respond meaningfully to?
