Unfortunately, this mail is arriving via fetchmail.

It's been an interesting problem as it appears that sendmail reads the
sender's address, logs the problem in the syslog, and discards the message
prior to checking the access database.  I end up without the message but
have an entry in the logs.

In any case, this was off topic for the list and should likely be dropped
before Julian puts a hex on my copy or MailScanner!
