There was a thread some days ago talking about the requirement that an MTA needs to allow MAIL FROM: <> for exact that reason. If your server is blocking those messages you will not get notified...this should be default and users may not alter this setting though XMail's server.tab allows it.

An empty reverse path MUST be supported." Ah, I see, but I don't want to allow it... Hmmm, makes it not easier to fight Spam... > I believe it may be to do with rejected and bounced messages and return > receipts Yes (same RFC): 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.
