OK, thanks for the help, here's all the info. The account I'm using
for this test is named "stray". There's no account named xzzzy:
$ mail -s test xyzzy@??? < /dev/null
Null message body; hope that's ok
$ fetchmail localhost
Enter password for stray@localhost:
fetchmail: 1 message for stray at localhost.
reading message 1 of 1 (512 header bytes) fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 <@localhost> : colon expected after route
fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 <stray> : sender address must contain a domain
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from localhost
$
The bounce message sitting in /var/spool/mail/stray looks like this:
