You can't (well, you can, but you must not). "MAIL FROM:<>" is the
universally accepted indicator of an NDR or other type of bounce.

It's also used all over the world as the envelope sender for Out Of
Office messages (well, it should be, but all too often isn't).

Acquaint yourself with RFC5321 to see where acceptance of such messages
is mandated.
