Are you saying that MX *was* able to send mail to the address uz@micmac?
I'm really surprised that it worked; it shouldn't have.

The problem is with some mailer between micmac.bitnet and your site; some
mailer determined there was a problem, and inserted an X-Delivery-Notice
header (see the 3rd header from the top); Hunter, please correct me, but
I don't believe MX is inserting this X-Delivery-Notice header (I believe
all of MX's X-* headers look like "X-MX-*").

I see, though, from the top Received: header, that you're running JNET
on your VAX, so I'll defer to someone that knows JNET to really provide you
with an answer to your question.

It would appear that he's complaining that MX delivered the message with the
above From: address, which is, of course, unrepliable in general.
