If the sender's address has no domain, many MTAs/MDAs will add the
local domain to the address to complete it. The mail really shouldn't
get out of the originating system without first being completed, but
it happens sometimes. Spammers in particular like it. The from
header with 'bounce' in it is created by the list manager so it can
keep track of bounces or something like that.
