KTAS>... while talking to mail.sourceforge.net.:
KTAS>>>> DATA
KTAS><<< 550-Envelope sender verification failed
KTAS><<< 550 rejected: Cannot route to envelope sender <alchemist at midgard.darkcanvas.com> (The envelope sender does not exist according to your mail server when it was asked): response from midgard.darkcanvas.com [66.45.6.19] after "MAIL FROM: <>" was "554 buildaddr: no host". This does not help fight spam effectively, breaks RFCs, and prevents you from getting bounces so we can't accept mail from you
KTAS>554 ksonney at users.sourceforge.net... Service unavailable

So masquerade the envelope... it's not hard...
