I don't think that's the case, because when I test (using a non-null
mail from:) i get the same
behaviour...

Can anyone clarify what "fail" does? Does it send to

a) sender
b) sender and postmaster@???
<mailto:postmaster@recipient.domain.tld>

Hmm!

    If `fail text' is resulting in postmaster getting the mail, then
I 
    assume the spammer is using mail from:<> in which case you will
need to 
    do something more intricate (or am I wrong?) .
