 This is NOT a header. It's a mailbox separator, added by the local delivery
 agent on the machine that finally delivered that message (presumably
 mail.alpha1.net).

 Check the mail logs on 216.88.237.10 and mail.alpha1.net to find out
 what the real enveloper sender address is. I _think_ it's possible
 (although I haven't observed this yet) that IMP somehow passes 
 "marius@alpha1.net" (literally, including the quotes!) to sendmail -f,
 which then interprets the address as RFC-822 local-part, and tacks on
 the missing domain. Or something like that.
