    We had the same problem with a bad firewall. We then patched qmail to send
    out bounces as "postmastercustomer.org". Not entirely smart, but the (now
    fixed) firewall setup wasn't either.

    Keep in mind that this was a "certified" firewall -- although nobody ever
    told us who certified that crap.
