I know it is. :-) I may have misinterpreted Stefano's comment, if he
meant, literally, "@[]". That would be invalid, since ']' is not valid
within an IP address.

Hence the error message..."number not found at position 4". The 3rd
character is a [, thus requiring position 4 to be an ip address. I'm
pretty sure James is following the specs.

Actually, they are allowed. <postmaster@[192.168.123.456]> is a valid
address. See RFC 2821, and trace through the BNF.

You are using "#@[]" as your email sender. IMHO It is not a valid address.
AFAIK [] are not allowed in the domain part of an email address.
Bounces should be sent from the following mail address "<>".
