Summary:                    Mantis sends email with invalid envelope sender
Description: 
Email sent by Mantis, e.g. because a user is monitoring a bug, comes with
(at the SMTP envelope level) sender apache at carolina.digium.com, which is
not a valid email address (no MX entry for the domain and no SMTP server
listening on this address). Some email systems refuse mail with a sender
that does not take mail back (verification through callback).

Please use a valid sender. It can be empty, for example. Or
bugs at digium.com, like it was in early 2007.

Not having a valid mail domain name will cause problems even if the server
doesn't try to connect to the origin server.  Rejecting because the domain
name doesn't exist is a lot more common than calling back the origin
server.  It will also increase the load on Digium's DNS servers.
