Any domain hosted by RackSpace will reject a NULL sender for
'backscatter'. 

Bascially, 'backscatter' blockers assume all edge SMTP servers will have
complete knowledge of the final delivery status - during the SMTP
conversation - thus labeling all NULL senders as forged spam redirected to
them via a bounce message.
