Your ISP is behaving badly!

As a workaround, put this in your Sendmail's .mc file:

	define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS', `g')
	define(`confMAILER_NAME', `MAILER-DAEMON at yourdomain.com')

It will make bounce messages appear to come from MAILER-DAEMON at yourdomain.com
instead of <>

This may cause mail loops, though.
