- Doubt that your type of account has anything to do with your inability to
- reply. I wouldn't be able to reply from my Vax account either.

- Seems like the sending machine or possibly a gateway machine between the
- mail's origin and your location is broken, failing to put a recognizable
- address on mail which it passes. Seems like it might be easier to
- determine where the problem is and advise you on how to circumvent it if
- you were able to produce a full set of headers. Just the address by itself
- is pretty vague.
