The idiots at highwhite.com are running a lousy 'doze piece of sh*t called
iMail and have configured it to refuse mail from:<> ... an option which is
configurable (and defaults to "yes, refuse it").

Someone ought to get hold of the imail coders, roll up a few copies of RFC
1123 and tell them what they can do with it.

See http://www.rfc-ignorant.org by the way - it's a soverign cure for such
idiocy.
