I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it matters what domain, the
address just has to exist. I think that they're checking your Sender
header (which is where bounces get sent) for validity. I remember
dealing with this once by getting mutt to add an explicit Sender
header, but perhaps you can configure the mail server to rewrite the
header to your normal email.

Hope this helps,
