Thanks Kai,

Unfortunately, I can't discern which log entry is the one I'm looking 
for. I don't know for certain which domain is actually sending out the 
email. I know the domain of the sender, obviously, but the relay, which 
is what the log entries show, does not match the domain of the sender's 
domain. A quick count of rejected emails totals more than 100 a minute here.

So far, the sender is not cooperating with me and providing the IP that 
is reported on the return notice. If they feel it's important enough, 
maybe they'll forward me the rejection notice (to a gmail account or 
something other than here).
