I've gotten similar bounces in the past; it seems fairly clear that
there's a completely anal-retentive spam filter on his end, and I'm
not sure it's worth the bother to figure it out.  (Definitely not for
me, anyway.)  It might have to do with a difference between the envelope
address and the From: line, but that's so common and innocuous--and has
been for close to a decade, if not longer--that there's simply no excuse
for bounces on account of it.  I couldn't think of any other likely
reasons, though.
