Johannes:

Is there any way that rejection message can be modified to include the 
email address from the report that isn't matching the registered email 
address? That would aid troubleshooting...

Sam:

Carbon copy yourself on the submission message, and check the From address 
on it against the registered address.

Take a look at hostname masquerading. If you registered 
sam.kuper at uclmail.net then something like sam.kuper at gw.uclmail.net won't 
work. If root is sending the mail from a cron job, that might be what's 
biting you. You might have to go to some effort to send the mail using a 
more complex command line that explicitly specifies the From address to 
use.

   For those who are being swayed by Microsoft's whining about the
   GPL, consider how aggressively viral their Shared Source license is:
   If you've *ever* seen *any* MS code covered by the Shared Source
   license, you're infected for life. MS can sue you for Intellectual
   Property misappropriation whenever they like, so you'd better not
   come up with any Innovative Ideas that they want to Embrace...
