Internet addresses. Period.

I found something quite bizarre just now:

One of our three mail-sending applications uses JavaMail 
directly to our mail server (and therefore, at least in 
theory, should have nothing to do with OS/400 SMTP). I've 
just reworked it so that it uses an Authenticator subclass 
instance that (at least in theory) should provide a valid 
user-ID and password for the mail server.

When it tries to send to my personal email account, it 
gets this bounce message ("Sirius" is the AS/400 in 
question):

From: QGATE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
[QGATE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]
Sent: Wed 4/12/2006 9:20 AM
To: Touchtone Corporation
Subject: UNDELIVERABLE MAIL

NOT ABLE TO DELIVER MAIL TO SOME/ALL RECIPIENTS.
REPLY CODES WITH FIRST DIGIT = '4' OR '5' ARE ERROR 
REPLIES.
ERRORS THAT DO NOT HAVE ERROR REPLY CODES MAY EXIST.

HOST sirius NOT ABLE TO DELIVER MAIL TO FOLLOWING 
RECIPIENT(S):
   <jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxx>
MAIL REJECTED BY hb WITH THE MESSAGE:
   550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxx
. . .

What exactly is "QGATE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx," 
and how is it even getting involved? How is Sirius even 
showing up as the originator of the message?
