This is for a friend of a friend, and so I am just looking for a general
direction to point him in.

He is sending mail through his server, which is running exim according to
the headers. It seems to be rewriting the sender to nobody@host.xxx.com,
instead of sales@xxx.com. This is causing the DNS lookups to check
host.xxx.com which isnt regestered in the DNS.

Should he just put host.xxx.com into the dns? Or is there an easy way for
him to configure his mail server to actually say its from sales@xxx.com.
Again, sorry for the lack of information, but this is just what I could get
over the phone and via email.

Attached bounced mail:
