Looks to me like you're using a callout verification method here - which, unless you control all the 'moving parts' being queried, you shouldn't do. The reasons are widely discussed on this list and elsewhere, but if you stop doing that, you will not suffer the problem.

'noreply' addresses aren't bogus as such; they're simply designed as send-only. This is *extremely* common.

So, to fix your problem, remove the 'verify = callout' config in the appropriate ACL.
