Re: How to stop this.

It's also possible that the time is correct in GMT, or that the date and time on the webserver (if sent as webmail) or mailserver are incorrect.

Hyphen-delineated addresses should be supported by anyone using qmail, or a variant; as far as I know, that's the only MTA with native support for that. There's some control panel out there (Ensim?)...

It's also possible that either or both servers simply silently discard mail to nonexistant accounts, or that one or both have a catch-all account.

It's much more likely, though, that you don't have...
