Really? Out of the last 19 E-mails that came into our spam traps, not a single one was sent with a NULL sender.

I'm not going to block your mail. We just have it set to alert us (such as the ORBSSRC test, as you can see in the subject, since you're listed in there). But, it's kind of like open relays -- they used to be acceptable, but no longer are. Same with refusing <>. It causes other postmasters troubles. -Scott
