When a mail server sends a bounce message, it does so with a null MAIL

will still operate, but in "degraded mode" by using the HELO domain name
instead.

For anyone that doesn't undrestand that, a bounce would typically be a 'user 
unknown'.

The MTA sending it doesn't really want another reply.

Just for information.
