Leonid,

   The failing BSMTP command appears to be the "MAIL FROM:<>" command,
which is hardly gratuitous. It is persfectly reasonable SMTP as well
as BSMTP, and means "Under no circumstances are you to attempt to
reply to this mail. Should you find an error, simply drop the mail
without comment." It is also well known that some mailers (including,
I belive, the Crosswell) don't like this form. Someone from the
Weizmann Institute posted a fix for the Crosswell code to the XMAILER
list some time ago, perhaps UREP needs a similar fix?
