Randy, Actually that is what I did, although the account already existed (it was the same as it was sent to). But I just changed the sender to a non-existing account (same domain, however) and I still got the mail and it did have the username in the client "from" field, not an email address. So it should work either way, unless the mail server it is destined for is doing some other email checking (say, a test to see if the sending user exists, or if the sending domain exists).
In your case, Exchange is probably testing the sender and by creating it, the test is passed so the mail is accepted. This is not really the same question Mike asked, but it is important in helping to understand how mail server work so WUG/P can deliver its notifications. And this is a common way to make the mail server accept WUG/P email messages. Marcio is using the IP in the senders address and probably has his server set to allow sending of mail for a range of IPs in his domain.

I used that format and it worked just fine from WUP and at my mail client.
