I wouldn't be able to reply from my Vax account either. Seems like the sending machine or possibly a gateway machine between the mail's origin and your location is broken, failing to put a recognizable address on mail which it passes. Seems like it might be easier to determine where the problem is and advise you on how to circumvent it if you were able to produce a full set of headers. Just the address by itself is pretty vague.
