Outlook ignores the SMTP spec by not enclosing the e-mail addresses in angle
brackets (although microsoft blames "older mail server systems"):

Djb did a workaround for this (stupid RFC ignorant clients) on qmail
version 1.03, install it.

The error bounces back to the user with systems administrator as the user.  With Microsoft Outlook, internet email is enabled as well as Microsoft Mail (the old win3.11 pop system) for internal mail.
